[Xerte-dev] Re: Preparation of XOT and Xerte test installs

[Pat Lockley]

I think Tom is doing buttons now?

The only obvious thing is having a language selection for index.php

I think the end of March is erm, unrealistic as a release date

The main thing I think is what happens in trunk - as in nothing new
should be added (i.e create branch 1.9 and then do nothing until 1.8
is released).
