This is > what users will probably not like :) Users usually do not like even parts of the manual missing; though I'm not shure which is worse... An easy solution (IMHO) could be to choose a point in time and simply freeze a version (like a string freeze for a program) then ask translator teams to complete their native language part in a fixed time span (say 2-3 weeks). Then commit a git version tag...say 2.6.0. comments? -- Marco Ciampa +--------------------+ | Linux User #78271 | | FSFE fellow #364 | +--------------------+ _______________________________________________ Gimp-docs mailing list Gimp-docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-docs
