Of the three I think that new one's my favourite :edit: by which I mean the one with the brown (?wine) background.
But really you should go with what you (and your girlfriend) think - art by committee is never a good idea!

Thanks you for the explanation Arantor.
"It just has to be done." - it would be easy to be cynical here, to say the whole SMF team should be devoting themselves to the task, but I had jobs to do today and all I've done is cook fudge, watch the MotoGP, cook roast potatoes and put my socks away, so who am I to comment?!

« on June 5th, 2011, 04:47 PM »Language updates are generated by Language Editor.Quote from Farjo on June 5th, 2011, 04:29 PM including the languages update
From the Powerbob thread:
Illori: the translators are working on translating the final language files for 2.0 final. once they are done the files will be updated on this site.
Darkness_Black: I'm Translator portuguese_BR. In Portuguese_Brazilian I exited the LLC, but the forum still appears to me.
Illori: the language files on this site need to still be updated to match what is in the language editor.
So does that mean the translators update the language editor and then someone 'generates' the language files?
Could someone other than the translators go through the files? It's got to be easy to spot "LLC" in any language!
"That's good for another 3 years of R&D." :mdr: (you are joking aren't you)

"Language updates are actually irrelevant compared to the core release." - sure, but this one they'll want to include. As you say there's now no reason to delay the release so I guess the steps are 1. internal test of and around OpenID fix, 2. build the new version [1] including the languages update, 3. load it onto the sm.org site for a wider test, 4. release.
So my point above is that once we see the LLC disappear we'll know that steps 1-3 are complete.

That's an attractive option, however we are currently running Yuku and I want to get off them as soon as SMF 2's gold is released and hope that a potential conversion to Wedge will be easy on the members.
As an aside, they would appear to be getting close again. Here's a 2 + (2/3 + 2/3 + 2/3) which may or not add up to 4.
In this thread by Powerbob, Illori says that the languages have to be updated to get rid of the "LLC" on the British (and other languages') screens.
And in this thread SiNaN says "...the only issue that was blocking the release was related to OpenID and it was dealt with yesterday"
So I assume that SMF 2.0 is "ready", and...
I assume that as normal they will update the sm.org site with new updated proposed gold version (nupgv) a few days before releasing it - as per 'standard procedure', and...
I assume that this nupgv will have the language updates to which Illori refers.
Therefore when the LLC disappears from the British (and other languages') screens, the Gold version is only 2 or 3 days away :eheh:

Hmm yes, even when I was typing the question I had an inkling of what the answer was.
I worked for a small City bank for years and was very bitter after I left. "Richard Williams" is all I'm saying. I left to join the company that provided IT software and consultancy to the bank, so I had to go back to the bank occasionally with a (false) smile on my face. Very tough.
Well I guess this brings us back to letting your code do the talking. If Wedge is good, and simplemachines doesn't move forward, then people will come to you and when you're ready to expand you will be able to pick who your team members are from the good guys, and the others will be left behind.
Myself, after a few months going back to the bank my new company sent me to other places - Dublin, La Havre, Bahamas, Bermuda and the bank realised what they'd lost :D

Well I don't want to get in a quote war however...
"And believe me, the time I spent on Wedge was MUCH more enjoyable than any time I could have spent within the SMF team"
Yes I had noticed, and had thought of starting a flippant thread "Is Nao mellowing?" :eheh:
"They want you to believe they're all gone... Then why haven't they made amends with us, eh? Simple question..." Simple answer... I don't really care. I, and other SMF users, will just care about a. is Wedge any good and b. is simplemachines making progress or still dead in the water. People don't want to come here and see an entire forum dedicated to slagging simplemachines, it gives a bad impression.
"Technically it's a board about Wedge competitors ;) should rename it." Perhaps this is the best solution :)
"Wedge *is* what SMF 3.0 should be, only years ahead from it." Yay :cool:
But rereading your post, maybe I've missed the point. "They want you to believe they're all gone... Then why haven't they made amends with us, eh?" and "we're complaining about those in charge who could *do something* about the terrible SMF/Wedge relationships" - why is it important to you? You've forked off... If it's an unfriendly relationship then so be it. Why does that get you upset?

Or maybe there's another, unknown but much better fork waiting until 2.0 release before announcing itself :niark:

Bloody hell, this is confusing :(
Presumably we'll know it's about to be released when they all get shifted over to 2.1 and the 2.0 bugs outstanding goes to 0.

There was a bike club - the Honda Hornet Owners Club - which had a big bust-up a few years ago. Some of its committee members had been wondering where everybody's £5 membership fee was going and they were chucked out, after years of hard work for their club.
They formed their own Hornet club which should have been so much better than the official one (who were up their own arses). But they spent their time slagging of the other club, trying to right old wrongs.
People should have joined them - no £5 fee and a hardworking team. But a club dedicated to slagging off another club, no matter how cathartic to its owners, will only have limited appeal.
Comparing and contrasting is fine, bragging about the bugs you've fixed is fine, but endlessly slagging them off will only turn people off Wedge.

Yes they have fixed very little in the last month and may as well have released it when they got the final signature.
And yes you are (esp. Nao) evidently still affected by SMF's treatment of you.
And I know you are doing this project for yourselves, and for your own motives.
However it would be sad if this were to become an anti-SMF sound-off forum, rather than pro-Wedge development space. We all have to live with SMF (the software) until Wedge is released and we can compare and choose. Then you can let your coding do the talking, and people will be more willing to listen if Wedge were something new and better rather than something negative.
I hope my honesty is not out of line.
