But it's just not targetted at tracking development. So why not just fixing releaseme to remove those issues (which I see as small)? Is the goal here: User launch script -> find a source directory with translations -> compile it? Release scripts partially cover this, it's mostly a matter of changing the output It's much easier IMHO then duplicating content in SVN, which I would personally oppose. Ciao -- Luigi
