When going to sync with EN, I usually check the SVN log of EN, so I quickly get this info. And frankly, it does not really matter if a translation is a single commit or many commits behinds; in both cases it is out-dated, and even a single commit might have more modifications than a lot of commits in total. > * How shall we reach a decission on how to go on from here?

I'm part of the doc team only for a few years, and during this time only "minor" changes have been made, and these have been *informally* discussed and decided on this list. Guess, we need more input from others, especially translators, who might be affected heavily by this change (e.g. the Brasilian Portuguese team is using a SVN/Git bridge[1]). Also we have to discuss and decide what happens with edit.php.net. [1] <https://github.com/phpdocbrbridge/traducao> -- Christoph M. Becker
