I just want to add that nobody has informed the i18n people that RC1
was released on 16th; at least there was no mail about that.
I was quite surprised to hear that no new translations will be included to
GNOME after 14th...nice thing!
GNOME's getting better every day, hahaha :(
If even we're not able to communicate with each other concerning
release dates and other stuff, how can we make clear that GNOME is a
really good DE?
Just a thought!
