My vote doesn't count for much since I'm not doing the work, though. I just want to make sure it's consistent.

That is obviously not the case. No, he's telling you what it is trying to say, not whether or not the meaning is clear. [Indeed, you've agreed that it's poorly worded; surely that's not compatible with the meaning being clear?] > Which is not relevant since he is not in a position to give official > interpretations of a poorly worded status page. You'll find that no one is then in a position to give an "official interpretation". He is, though, a Developer, and the fact that three of us have now said that that's what it is getting at should hopefully indicate something.

Please, submit a patch that clarifies the wording so that it is more inline with what the text was intended to say. Just to make it obvious: You don't need to be a developer to contribute to Debian. You can contribute to Debian in many of the common areas that developers contribute without actually being one, like reporting bugs, filing patches, fixing documentation, discussing technical solutions, maintaining packages, and flaming on mailing lists...

It's more than that; that's what the constitution refers to Debian Developers as, so the NM process needs to use the same terminology.

We are members of the project, but we are called Debian Developers. That's the title that the constitution uses, and the NM documentation should use the same terms when it's refering to the position. [If it's refering to them in pasing, calling them members of the project is just fine, but doding otherwise is just going to lead to even more confusion than we have currently.] Don Armstrong -- The beauty of the DRUNKENNESS subprogram was that you could move your intoxication level up and down at will, instead of being caught on a relentless down escalator to bargain basement philosophy and the parking garage. -- Rudy von Bitter _Software_ p124 http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Can you give me a list of bugs which you plan on assigning to this pseudopackage and ideally a set of bugs which have appropriate tags applied using usertags and/or the extant tags? [See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=337733#10 for what I've been asking for in the case of new tags; what I need to be convinced for new pseudopackages is basically the same.] (The bugs to be assigned to the pseudopackage should most likely currently be assigned to the general pseudopackage.) A (terse! ;-)) explanation of why the current l10n tag coupled with user tags isn't cutting the mustard would also be helpful too; and if you really want to make my life easier, write up a description of the pseudopackage.

I don't have a problem with the BTS being used, but it needs buy in from the people actually doing the translation(s).
