We'll link from this site directly to release links such as
I do not see how that is much different from the way it is done now, except the path.
As I mentioned above, we can look on the structure more close when it is time to add v8 structure. But this is how it is going to be done.
A open archive and a file for download that are linked to from here.

most of the locales marked as 7.02.07 are actually missing the locale lines added in this version.
From the download here, most of em are also listed 7.02.xx
But yeah it is a shame that so many ignores the update, alto it have little impact on the everyday use of most sites.

There are no designated translators anymore. Any one can mess up the translations.
We are in this as open source, we need to be open even with these files.
Anyone can request an update of these, yes.
We do not need to accept all of these requests and updates.
Locales is one of these things we need to be careful on and where we would need to double check. esp if it is a language that have a dedicated translator here.
Nothing prevents designated translators to remain designated.
We have the stable archived file as the download just for these reasons among others as mentioned above.
If a trusted translator comes with a new file we will just update the stable with that and the archive with his work.
Let´s not exaggerate or even imply that there need to be a negative impact out of this. I only see possibilities here.

Very interesting read, thank you !
I hope we get a Chinese translation soon.
I am reluctant to Google translate at this stage.
I would like to remind everyone that our former Locale archive contained 15 translations. Most of the updates where done in 2011 to these.
Our new archive have a total 34 translations where many have been updated recently.
