For the price, I'll be given to see my wife and kid again after two long
months of separation, so I won't complain ;)

If you can't or don't want, no problem. I'll gonna go for a 0.17.3 in a sort
of backport of the fixes. Don't worry, it shouldn't be very difficult given
the very small size of the fixes... It will only be difficult for
translations, but I bet that it's better to get bug fixed than 100%
translation, when we really have to choose.

Well, you already had the possibility of breaking anyone's work. Now, you
have the possibility of breaking anyone. Even more scary ;) I did so
recently (to kick mquinson-guest out of the picture), and that's a bit
tricky to achieve. Impossible by accident...

Waho. She's not used to unix and she translate this text ?! Is she
masochist? I mean, I really appreciate her effort, but I don't want to
disgust her from linux even before converting her (neither after).

Please tell her that we'd understand if she get borred before being done.

Why that? My approval is not a magic thing. If something bad happen, you're
welcome to fix it. If I'm here, I'll do my best to fulfill my duty, but if
not, please do not wait for my "approval". If we mess up stuff, we can
always fix it afterward. Isn't exactly what I did on the last release? ;)

Again, po4a is a pet project. It's neat, I like it. But I know that nobody
will die or get his harddisk reformated if it goes wrong. No need to refrain
our geek lust..
