xx is a mere commodity for developers in order to track down i18n bugs, y=

cannot count this as a "language".=20

As for other translations that are not yet distributed: these are simply=20
unmaintained or badly maintained. But they are in CVS with the clear purp=

to get distributed one day soon as the find more dedicated maintainers an=

language teams.

With space and adminstrative requirements for the kde-i18n module getting=
=20
higher and higher and lots of regular teams (eg from India) waiting for=20
inclusion I'm totally against including any fun projects that do not even=
 aim=20
at regular distribution. Besides: If we start including projects like thi=
s we=20
can hardly deny it to others, no matter how obscure or badly maintained t=
hey=20
are.

Please find a way to keep this project outside the regular kde-i18n modul=
e.=20
(If you insist to have it in there, you might want to talk to Klas Kalass=
=20
whether he sees a chance for such things in his upcoming "apps" modules.)
