[wp-polyglots] NO, NN and NB (was: How does it work?)

Ok, .org username?

I can do that, but there really is no need to use svn for that. Twenty
Ten's translations live in GlotPress now, and are used when building
the locale releases

Whatever is done, usually has a reason, or several:

Yes, I agree it is important. However given the proximity of 3.0 and
the intricacies which will inevitably result on the logic of linking
repositories and the GlotPress configuration to such a setup, the
priorities, at this time, reside elsewhere, as explained before:

It's fine by me, if the original requesters agree with you, sure. We
didn't produce 'no' out of a magician's hat. The whole previous
discussion illustrates how we got there.

My point, precisely

Thanks
