I used the date for testing purpose, but now the 1.0.0 is released and there's no longer any reason to use date.

I'd be grateful for pointers. Apart from saying that there ideally should be a package for the fronted, one for the backend, and one handling database, there not much to say right now, but I'll reply to any question you may have. > > > Yet another thing: I noticed you don't have a German .po file, is someone > already working on this?

I understand that, but unless I forgot something nobody ever proposed to do the german translation. The only translation that is almost complete is the French one. German translation would be a great addition. -- Mathieu Roy +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | General Homepage: http://yeupou.coleumes.org/ | | Computing Homepage: http://alberich.coleumes.org/ | | Not a native english speaker: | | http://stock.coleumes.org/doc.php?i=/misc-files/flawed-english | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
