We risk losing a few people who might have translated through elvis/i18n CVS, but IMO it is a low risk. We also may gain some translators because of the publicity or the move-toward-fedoraproject.org (which matters to some people.) We have agreement to completely migrate off elvis when F7 is out, so the translators are doing themselves a favor to get a FAS account now. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
