[Localization] [IAEP] Fwd: sugar on a stick localized in farsi or pashto or both

[David Farning]

Sameer,

This sounds like an interesting possibility for spreading Sugar.

All of the SoaS contributors are currently working pretty hard to get
the Strawberry release ready to ship next week.

Can you follow up on this request in about two weeks to make sure it
is brought up again as part of the 'new features for the next release'
discussions.  Good ideas often needs a 'champion' to help keep them on
track.  So, if you or someone you know might like to be the feature
champion.  Please invite them to stick up their hand:)

david


thanks
david
