Hi,
first of all: thank you all so much for sharing your wonderful hacks with us. Yes, there are sometimes no comments at all to a hack and this could be found discouraging at first sight. (I also have hacks here that never got even a single response, or just what looks like complaints. But then I saw the Download rates and other indications and then it was allright.
There is at least one big advantage: it keeps the threads clear for input that really adds to the hack (bug reports, suggestions) and I start appreciating that. - I myself also stopped writing the "yes I like it"-threads for that reason, although I am so extremely happy with many of them. So here comes my THANK YOU again to all of you.
One general suggestion for a standartization I want to to come up with: Language Files.
Standartization can be something very useful. Ther Hack-description standards are such a case and are helpful for us all.
Language files are one of the coolest features of Threads, and was at least for me THE main reason to switch to Threads some years ago.
I wished that hacks would also use Language-Files more often. Only English forums may have the luxury to offer only one language. So all international forums have to add language hacks to the original hacks, to make them compatible. That is lots of extra work, and errors come quickly it the original hack got updated, which can be often sometimes.
On the other hand I think it would be not so much extra work for a hack-writer to build Language code in right from the beginning. Many of us users would be very happy with this. (It would be fine, just to distribute the code for the English language file, translations should be no problem for the end user.)
