Re: view-fuzzy beta version ready

[Ali Servet Donmez]

Hi everyone,

first of all please excuse me all for very very late reply on this
subject.

I really would love to get into and discover better what various things
under "www-el/__tools__" does (especially "view-fuzzy"), but that's way
long code that I couldn't possibly afford atm.

Could please somebody sum up what's the current status here?

is there anything new in GnuMakefile.team which is useful for
translation teams?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
