... nor the side of the individual (K)Ubuntu teams, at least not 
the hard way of "What happened to our translations? Why are they 
constantly overwritten?" and so on. Either way this would never 
really work: Just imagine the hundred KDE language teams 
explaining this over and over again to every newcomer or vice 
versa -- even if they had the time and the nerve for this -- and 
multiply this with all the other upstream stuff from GNOME, 
Debian and so on.

IMO, there has to be a standard way of info about the whole 
upstream/downstream connection to all language teams from the 
Ubuntu project side. Also a way to keep upstream stuff clearly 
separate from their own.

I think I suggested this now to Jonathan something like 3 or 4 
times. No reaction so far.

Kind regards,

Thomas
