Sorry. I don't work with Gitorious yet. Therefore, my suggestion comes
here.

Your sentence: 
<p>Do you really want to delete this View? It cannot be undone.</p><p><strong>Note:</strong> all the content blocks that have been added to the view will not be deleted. However, any feedback placed against the view will be deleted. <br/>Consider backuping the view by exporting it first.</p>

"All content blocks" is not entirely correct as content from text boxes
will be gone.

My suggestion:
<p>Do you really want to delete this View? It cannot be undone.</p><p><strong>Note:</strong> All your files and blog entries that you linked in this view will still be available. However, any feedback placed in this view as well as text entered directly into text boxes will be deleted. <br/>Consider creating a backup of this view before you delete it by <a href="http://siteurl/export/"; target="_blank">exporting</a> it.</p>

Status in Mahara ePortfolio: In Progress

Bug description:
Hello,

"Do you really want to delete this View? It cannot be undone." –> Some users may ask if their files and blog entries will also be lost when the view is deleted. 

Maybe a sentence should be added along the lines of "All your files and blog entries that you linked in this view will still be available. However, if you have written text directly into text boxes, this will be gone." 

BUT if text boxes also get the artefact status then the second sentence becomes redundant. 

Maybe we can also provide a link to the portfolio export. That could be used as backup (they could always do an HTML export to freeze their portfolio in time). E.g. "If you want to create a copy of your portfolio in the state it was in before deleting, you may want to [link]export[/link] it before you delete this view."
