[WG: I18N & L10N] Proposal: Merge of unverified translations into Sakai 10

[Neal Caidin]

[sakai-core-team , sakai-pmc, i18n]

Just to be safe on this one, going for lazy consensus.

Proposal - Translation property files for Sakai 10 will be merged for 
RC01 (release candidate 01) whether or not they have been verified, as 
long as they have been merged into trunk in time and targeted for Sakai 
10 (i.e. merge flag set).

Rationale - Translation files, for the most part (99.9% of the time?) 
are independent files and do not affect Sakai functionality. Therefore, 
while it is preferred to have all the translations verified in trunk 
before the merge to the Sakai 10 branch, merging poses virtually no 
risk, whereas not merging will lose an opportunity to include updated 
translations or new languages. The benefit of getting the translations 
into Sakai seems to outweigh the risks of any potential issue that a 
translation properties file could create.

Considerations - we do like everything to be verified before being 
merged into the branch, so if at all possible please have your 
translations tested in trunk.

Deadline - Tuesday, May 27, 9 pm Eastern Daylight.

Please voice any concerns by Tuesday, May 27. That is the cutoff date
for any concerns related to the proposal.

Process:
A material objection raised by a Sakai PMC member will block 
thisproposal. All concerns, from anyone in the community, are welcome. 
Silence equals consent.

Cheers,
Neal
