[Foundation-l] Localisation of MediaWiki

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
You are wrong. One other member has expressed has already announced that he
will be against any final approval for any project that does not comply. The
new policy has been communicated on many projects for more than a week now.
When you want to discuss things again., you do not do that by reverting a
polcy. We discuss it and when we have consensus the policy can be changed.
You do not revert a policy because of you only now find out that you had not
"considered things enough".
Thanks,
     GerardM
