When I saw Alexeys posts, I decided to not answer them - it's difficult for me to have an objective opinion as I simply don't like the way Alexey came in and said "everything you do sucks, what I do is the only right way you can do that". That makes me think "what the hell does that guy want from us?". However, let me try it.

I have reviewed the code and it looks good - most of it seems to work, much of my code has been optimized.

I can't say if this code is good or this code is bad. He did the changes he stated in his mail, and they seem to work and the code techincally looks good (at least better than mine). The question is, do we want to have this changes? I like the template usage and the new path format page.html.{ln}. I personally don't like the usage of gettext as for me this seems to be overhead - before we had a php file containing all variables, now we have several .po etc. files which have to be edited by special software (I think?). All this is just a question of the personal point of view.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Andreas Grabmüller

Dave, I'm thinking we could probably put his code on a new virtual test
domain, though I'd like to look through the code more before we get to that
step, but it seems like a good next step...

I am. Actually I used to be the user experience advocate for a large recruting
company. I've noticed It's tough to convince developers to go with his
recomendations sometimes :-)
