With this policy in place, it should become much more

the Wikipedias up to date. We still need someone to finish the conversion
script, though -- Italian is still on UseMod, for example, they really
should be switched over.
Sorry to ask, but where is the discussion about that policy? Have all
delelopers agreed to this policy? Who count's as developer and had to agree
to that policy?
Unfortunatly I sometimes feel like a developer (only if I add something to
the CVS of course), but I din't feel like one as I got this mail. Are you
not usually complaining that every change etc. has to be done via
democtratic wiki decicion?
I think a proper poliy is ok, and it should be written down somewhere, even
in more than one language IMHO. But should not be a little discussion about
it, somewhere? Why not added that every change has to be documentated,
especialy new features? Why there aren't any coding rules specified (at
leased somethin like: no more than 78 chars/line)? Where discussions aout
new features take place and where there have to be an archive about all
this discussions? And I'm sure there are other things missing.
Sometimes you get the feeling that all the beautiful rules in wikipedia
don't count a cent if they hit reality.
