Re: Removed gpaint from status pages / no need to translate it

[Andy Tai <atai gnu org>]

gpaint is still being developed.  The development site
always has been in the sv.gnu.org site.   I never see
anyone say fifth toe applications must reside in GNOME
CVS, and I believe some other GNOME applications (part
of GNOME Office or other parts, not necessary fifth
toe) also exist elsewhere (like Abiword?).

Please let me have the chance to retrieve the
translations first.  I also already have a working
GNOME 2 versions in cvs.  I will reapply gpaint to be
part of the Fifth Toe in the future. Hopefully soon.

Thanks to all the people who have contributed
translations so far.  More translations are invited.

Andy
