I like the idea of Shadowgate, DEII, and YsIV.
I don't get the big deal of using a translation patch. I understand its a lot of work to create these projects, but if you are doing it for the community and the love of the system, then once you turn it over to the community you have to let it go. Let the community do what it wants with it. Its community property at that point, much like my cock. As long as others are not profiteering from your gift, I don't see the big deal.
I see this mentality here at work as well. Someone writes an app from scratch, then clings to it like its their child. If someone else comes along and wants to modify it, or incorporate it into a new process, they get all pissy. You can't do that... It wasn't designed to be used like that.... I wrote it....
So what, you created it. Its now a part of the company code library, and we will use it and leverage it as we see fit. Let it go!
