OK. Then I don't need SVN - one thing less to worry about :-) However, I would need to be set up as Glotpress validator for nn_NO, please.

My point exactly. I feel no need to quote myself. The individual languages are universally recognised as nb and nn, not no and nn:

The time constraints and other considerations are perfectly well understood. However, out from http://lists.automattic.com/pipermail/wp-polyglots/2010-June/004546.html , I interpret that nb. and nn. would be used until both could be served at no. When two sites had to be created, they should follow the name of the individual locales.

No, it was produced out of a request that I later commented.

Yes, only I can't see that the outcome is what we had agreed upon. 

Back to Petter, then: I never agreed that no.wordpress.org would be used for nb alone. We both agreed that no. should be used to host both, not just one of them. 

I request that no.wordpress.org be moved to nb.wordpress.org until a permanent no.wordpress.org solution can be established, as discussed earlier.
