I think this first localization effort brings our project to a broader
audience. Of course not everything is perfect but let's solve the =
problems
as they appear. Are there any open source projects you know that have
excellent localization? We could take a look what they did better...

Id' like to update the screenshots for our site - insert some screens =
(on
Mac OS X - wonderful...) Matthias sent to me. I guess we have reached =
alpha
quality - perhaps even beta! Few bugs, few strange behavior.

I set up Install Anywhere Now! to be able to produce Installers for =
Windows,
Linux, Mac etc. in minutes. What's our strategy? WebStart, Installers, =
plain
jar? I'd like to have all of that!
