Dear Ron,

Thank for your support. It is really motivating to see how fast you can get an
answer on Debian. Your answer about poEdit mostly satisfies me. I am glad to
see we share the same opinion about wx2.4.

About wx2.6: we use wx2.5 unstable to build pgAdmin3, the next official GUI
for PostgreSQL. You can get pgAdmin3 from http://www.pgadmin.org.

deb http://www.pgadmin.org/snapshots/linux/debian unstable/testing/woody
pgadmin3

pgAdmin3 is an important project for PostgreSQL. Our stats show that we have
more than 2000 new users everyday with a minimum user base of 100.000 users.
pgAdmin is being translated into 40 languages. It is based on Unicode and
supports PostgreSQL unicode databases.

This user base makes it possible for us to detect and fix the main Unicode
bugs in wx. As a result we publish our own version of wx, until the fixes are
integrated in wx.

Whenever you prepare wx2.6, we would appreciate to discuss before releasing it
on Debian. To make sure that a working wx2.6 version is used. Could you point
me out the Debian list where the wx stuff is discussed?

Best regards,
Jean-Michel
