In my humble opinion, the situation is out of balance. We cannot dismiss contributions<br>
merely because people have not learnt all the tools. This also goes for localization team,<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't think we are dismissing contributions at all here. The way I read the conversation is<br>
