[Design] Re: [Chandler-dev] EuroPython Localization wrap up and next steps

[Philippe Bossut]

+1 to Brian's proposal.

Sorry I haven't read your post Brian before answering Heikki. Hope I

Note for fun: as it happens, "Triage" *is* a French word so that's one 
problem I didn't have ;)

Cheers,
- Philippe
