Well, I actually quite like it when there's a bit of activity. :-)

You're keeping me nice and busy with little bug fixes, too, and hey,
every bug fixed helps!

A bit of communication is usually good! It is exciting to have another
large and prominent site using Mlmmj.

I see you have sent a link to a repository for this now. I will have a
look some time soon.

That sounds wonderful.

I am actually hoping to rewrite the list texts in the next couple of
weeks, partly to incorporate the recent improvements that have been made
to the list text system. I then will be asking for people to help
translate them to be included in a new release. If your localisation
efforts could wait for a little while, it would be better to translate
the new texts than the current ones.

It's not possible yet, but there is no reason not to do it, other than
being busy and/or focusing on other things and higher priorities. This
feature will involve a change to list texts, too, so I may well try to
do it before rewriting them, which I suppose means I might do it pretty
soon!

Could you add it as an enhancement request in our bug tracker, please?
That will help me not to forget about it.

Smiles,

Ben.
