After seeing the pitiful state of the German localization, I propose a new feature:
Introduce an upload function on the I18N page (to tiki.org) to upload one's custom.php 'to tiki.org.
This will create the need of a target on tiki.org that keeps record of uploads, the Tiki versions and language settings the custom.php was created for, and (optionally) contact information or a tiki.org account name.
Intended purpose: Introduce new localization strings for new Tiki features into the language in question's language.php file faster than before, thus reducing the effective "age" of language.php delivered with new version releases. Users (admins) detecting untranslated parts would translate them locally and then share this information with the community.
That will create the need that a list of people is kept with proficiency in that language, because such uploads need to be peer reviewed before consolidating them into a language's language.php file. Important to prevent spam, abuse or illegal or copyrighted content or "edit wars" (groups of people constantly editing back and forth parts that they cannot agree on a translation. Wikipedia is an example of such edit wars...
To help developers solve the bug, we kindly request that you demonstrate your bug on a show2.tiki.org instance. To start, simply select a version and click on "Create show2.tiki.org instance". Once the instance is ready (in a minute or two), as indicated in the status window below, you can then access that instance, login (the initial admin username/password is "admin") and configure the Tiki to demonstrate your bug. Priority will be given to bugs that have been demonstrated on show2.tiki.org.
