Hmmm, IS there any translation to be done or can we just ignore this
project for now? Now, thats a rhetorical question :-) , because if I
was willing to do some translation, I would have no way of knowing
whether or not there is work to do, unless I actually go to the
Mandrake (or any other project) website and look there, either that or
I could bother you by asking every couple of weeks. This can all be
avoided with a little bit of work.

I dont want to come off as being adamant about this. Yes, I know its a
little silly for Mandrake in particular (and at this particular time),
but this rule will be very useful for almost all the other projects
and to be honest I do not like special cases and exceptions. If we
make an exception here we risk that every other project maintainer
might try to find a reason why he too should be excluded from this
burden and this rule will slowly sink into being ignored completely.

Ah, I forgot about CVS. Its not critical in the least, but lets keep
it in the back of our heads :-)
