A "word game" is exactly that - taking the statement of someone else and
just replacing words. In itself it is in no way at all a productive form
of discussion.

And you're still missing my point. I could care less whether you really
consider Toutdoux a GNU application, a GNOME application, or both, or
nothing of the sort, or anything like those types of discussions. Please
do not make it such a type of discussion. That's not my intent, as I
already stated in my first mail.

What I really need to know is whether you are going to use GNOME cvs in
the future or whether you are not, and if not, if you are ok with using
the Translation Project instead. If you are moving to GNOME cvs using
the GNOME Translation Project is fine, if not, using the Translation
Project is better, and we should make sure Toutdoux gets imported in the
Translation Project instead. That's the needed decision.

I see no clarification yet. Are you willing to use the Translation
Project or not?
