13:26 < ashley> the only issue I have with WMF SVN is descriptionmsg stuff...a simple hook extension really doesn't need a huge i18n file (they tend to grow quite huge rather easily, y'know)
13:26 < ^demon> Vs. being in svn, where they'll continue to get at least a basic level of care just by being there.
13:26 < ^demon> ashley: I thought we'd been over this, and if people don't want to put the extension i18n, they didn't have to.
13:27 < ashley> ah, cool
13:27 < ^demon> I mean, who's going to make you?
13:28 < ^demon> I think we've pretty much established that the primary author of an extension has pretty much "squatters rights" on how they write their extension.
13:28 < ^demon> Exception being security, of course.
13:29 < ashley> it'd be nice to have that documented somewhere :) (yes yes, I know about bug #1, but at least we can try to make the docs suck a bit less)
13:30 < ^demon> ashley: I didn't know we needed to document it, I thought it was common sense :)
13:30 < ashley> I wish!
