I dont see why we are restricting papercuts like this. I have helped fix a
number of locale issues through papercut reports, either by allocating the
bug to the right place in launchpad or by reporting it to the right place
upstream as well as creating patches. Maybe its just me but I really dont
like the restrictions being placed on this project e.g no more kde, no
locale bugs isn't that what caused the project to die off in the first
place no bugs for people work on? We are still yet to have targeted 100 for
this release (we are almost there but not yet) if anything we should be
removing limitations and widening the project that way we also widen the
range of potential contributers to the project.

Anyway this is all just my opinion, I'm keen to see what other people think.

Hey Ninjas,

I've updated the definition of a paper cut on
AskUbuntu<http://askubuntu.com/questions/1006/what-is-a-paper-cut> to
include a point in the *What is not a paper cut* passage regarding
localisation issues. It reads:

*Localisation issues are not paper cuts. For a bug to be a paper cut, it
must affect the majority of average users and localisation issues will only
affect users in that locale.*
*
*
A caveat to that reads:

*Issues affecting any English text, such as badly worded app descriptions
in the Software Centre, can be considered valid paper cuts since the
English text string are used as the baseline for all localisations. If the
English is wrong, then the translation will be wrong.*
*
*
Does anyone have any issues with this?

Thanks,
Chris
