Hi Theo, thanks for clarification and for your reply. Too bad Josh did |
| 6 |
not pass the word along the GDP. Given how much stuff he does, I'm sure |
| 7 |
he was just swamped with work. |

I went through the Bugzilla [1] before I sent that mail, hence this |
| 12 |
question. Bug 336055 looks like an Apache problem (and is trivially |
| 13 |
fixable), bug 342569 is a feature of how the Gentoo-specific XSLT |
| 14 |
stylesheets work, and in no way Gorg-specific (and could be probably |
| 15 |
RESO/INVALID immediately). Looks like the only real issue is bug 315487, |
| 16 |
the compatibility with Ruby 1.9. |

Again, this is rather hard to evaluate without any evidence. I've been |
| 21 |
running Gorg on a non-Gentoo web site for years, so I do agree that it |
| 22 |
takes some effort to set up (like any other server application), but |
| 23 |
without specific references to problems, it's hard to judge how much of |
| 24 |
a troublemaker Gorg really is. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I do understand your desire not to use abandoned projects -- that's a |
| 27 |
very reasonable stance. |

See, this is *exactly* why I wrote this mail. What are "statistics for |
| 34 |
translators"? I'm a translator myself, and nobody asked me what could |
| 35 |
help me. What translators indicated that they consider that an |
| 36 |
improvement over current way with metadoc.xml/overview.xml/trads.rb? |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I welcome the change to git, it's great that you're willing to undertake |
| 39 |
it, but it will surely affect the way how GDP works. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Whether a WYSIWYG editor is an improvement (or would just cause troubles |
| 42 |
for translators due to line noise in diffs) is debatable IMHO, but that |
| 43 |
discussion has been already started and abandoned several times. |

Cheers, |
