History

Have added draft section on 'history' to the draft. Where there are ????? marks I wasn't able to find the facts. Can someone fill these in? I'm not sure whether I have pitched this history at the right level. If more technical detail is needed this can perhaps be added by someone else?

I have done some review with fixes, updates and additions. I think we should take it into production as it is now.

That's fine - there is one question mark left on the wiki groups section - about the delay between registering and automatic confirmation.

Fixed that. Although, IIRC, Translators are autoconfirmed, so it can be sped up.

Thanks. Have added a section on fallback language to FAQs, pending documentation on the proper help pages, and added links to FAQ and other documentation pages, for fallback, PLURAL and GENDER.

I've spotted a grammar issue that I want to consult a friend on this evening, then I will be very happy to leave this page alone and move on to other things!

Small grammar correction done. All done.

Thanks for the help. I've taking it into production. Is there any added benefit to marking this page for page translation?

I suppose this isn't a working page as far as the users of the wiki are concerned. However, translators trying to recruit more translators in their language might find it useful to link to the translated page in their recruitment drives. It might also help with general publicity. If nothing else, it would demonstrate our own commitment to localisation!

I'm afraid it eats on the time translators spend translating actual useful content. On the other hand, offering it doesn't mean they have to do it. We should probably assume translators should just translate whatever they want, just as long as they do it here :). I'll sleep a night over it, and add page translation tomorrow - probably...
