Hi! As noted previously in the revcheck.html output, there were no way to present a list of translators or files under translation (as this was doable in the Translators files). This is why I thouht of adding some more functionality to the revcheck.php script, and invent a format to present source for that script. The new format I "developed" can be seen in the hu/translation.xml file (see dtd one dir upper). The format is so simple, as it needs no complex explanation. The revcheck.php script is improved to search for that xml file. If it finds none, than nothing advanced will happen, the regular tables will be print out, as before my modifications. But if the file is found, there will be two more tables and more functionality is existing tables. The first table shows the translators with spam protected email addresses, nicknames, whether that nick used is a CVS account, and the files associated with that person. The file list is dynamic. Actual, old, veryold and norev corresponds to the appropriately colored files maintained by that person. The CREDITS lists in files is a new thing. If there is a credits list in the file, it must be a list of nicknames worked on the file in the past, but currently not maintaining the file. The collected numbers will show up of previously maintained files by person in this table. The other new columns is "wip", the files under translation, checked out by that person (aka reserved by that person)... In the files table all the maintainers with a line in the translators table are links to that line. Another new table is the work in progress files table. Anyone can register files to be here in the translation.xml file. Files can be registered for updates, new translation, etc. The contents of the type columns is free text... The files without revision comments are the same as before. The available for translation (was: untranslated files) show the total number of files and hides the files listed in the wip table. Hope my proposed new things will be liked by some translation groups using the Revision Comment system. Remember, all the revcheck.html output is available online for your language at http://www.php.net/manual/your_lang/revcheck.html This is why I removed the Translators file entirely, as now all the information is avilable in that nice HTML... Remember, that nobody is encouraged to use these enhancements, these are completely optional, even when using the revision comments. Any advice, corrections and other stuff are appreciated. Goba
