Hello,
I leave california on the 21th. I leave my laptop there (property of the
lab). So, when I arrive in France, I'll have no computer, no connexion, and
not even a place to live...
Given the amount of spam I get, I do not expect to be able to check mails by
webmail or whatever before mid-september, when thing comes clear with my new
employer. I hope I won't loose any mail, but Erm. I'm not sure my account
will survive the load.
I am sorry about that, and I hope we manage to get 0.18 out there before the
21 august (which is, btw, my birthday). I'm short on time, but I'll do my
duty.
Afterward, well. Jordi, I just gave you the full privileges on the alioth
project. You can now recruit new people, for example. If a new translator
comes, please give him the cvs commit right. You also have the right to kick
people out of the project (including me), but please don't ;)
Once 0.18 is out of there, we shouldn't need to make a new version before I
come back. If it happens, Pierre has both the authorisations and the
knowledge to build a new version of po4a and push it both to the alioth
server and the debian one. I really hope it won't be necessary since I don't
want to put any extra burden on you, but who knows ?

Owch, that hurts :(

I'll try to accelerate myself, these last days I've been so inactive :(

Wow! Many thanks :) Don't worry, I don't want to break anyone's work.
About new people, one friend of mine has just begun the catalan pod
translation :) In spite of this, she's not very used to the unix world,
for the moment I'll commit her changes.

Oh, it should be no burden if it's necessary, but I prefer having your
approval before doing something like that :P

For the price, I'll be given to see my wife and kid again after two long
months of separation, so I won't complain ;)

If you can't or don't want, no problem. I'll gonna go for a 0.17.3 in a sort
of backport of the fixes. Don't worry, it shouldn't be very difficult given
the very small size of the fixes... It will only be difficult for
translations, but I bet that it's better to get bug fixed than 100%
translation, when we really have to choose.
Wow! Many thanks :) Don't worry, I don't want to break
anyone's work.
Well, you already had the possibility of breaking anyone's work. Now, you
have the possibility of breaking anyone. Even more scary ;) I did so
recently (to kick mquinson-guest out of the picture), and that's a bit
tricky to achieve. Impossible by accident...
About new people, one friend of mine has just begun the catalan pod
translation :) In spite of this, she's not very used to the unix world,

Waho. She's not used to unix and she translate this text ?! Is she
masochist? I mean, I really appreciate her effort, but I don't want to
disgust her from linux even before converting her (neither after).
Please tell her that we'd understand if she get borred before being done.

Why that? My approval is not a magic thing. If something bad happen, you're
welcome to fix it. If I'm here, I'll do my best to fulfill my duty, but if
not, please do not wait for my "approval". If we mess up stuff, we can
always fix it afterward. Isn't exactly what I did on the last release? ;)
Again, po4a is a pet project. It's neat, I like it. But I know that nobody
will die or get his harddisk reformated if it goes wrong. No need to refrain
our geek lust..
