As a matter of fact, I'm trying to see how to get rid of those entries 
containing a full personal path in the pot file (parser.yy and lexer.yy 
get doubled). It seems to be due to the "out of source tree build" and 
how make and gettext deal with recursive and upwards relative 
directories.  Since I'm not a programmer neither very comfortable with 
all the building machinery we have... with just 1.5 hour a day of diving 
in this soup.  Secondly I think to add to the file names their  path 
relatively to $(configure-srcdir), what might help to find the source 
more evidently than choosing between flower, lily, ly, python, scm or 
scripts.

I think that the Catalan translator (Walter Garcia-Fontes) makes regular
commits to the FTP. If you have a look at the LP's domain page, his last
update from Xmas noon reached 279 translated chains, compared to the 189
that Paco pushed on the translation branch.  Might be should we wait
that he reaches a certain percentage before uploading again, or sending
him a mail asking him how he feels about it?

Cheer, and beware your lever with all the good things we eat and drink 
these days!
