I updated the branch, and the diff has been updated on the merge request. What do you guys think about this diff?
First a technical point: is creating a branch for changes such as this the preferred way to go? Are there instructions about what namespace one should use (inkscape-dev, own name etc.)? Inkscape wiki regarding bazaar is basically about reproducing svn's workflow. I would rather have a workflow with local commits + push to lp:inkscape than immediate commits to a remote personal branch + merge to lp:inkscape.
Second, the README seems to be intended to hold general information about Inkscape, which is translated, while INSTALL contains more details about the technical part of the installation. Why not move the general instructions ./configure make make install to INSTALL, extend it and keep all that in english only since contributors to Inkscape are likely to need to speek english anyway? Then the specific build instructions could be: - either move entirely to the wiki: simplify the current INSTALL to make it as basic as possible and add a link - or moved entirely to INSTALL (possibly to INSTALL.fedora, INSTALL.win32, INSTALL.macosx, etc.) I would personally be for un-cluttering the wiki and allow the instructions to move under version control at the same pace as the code.
