Apparently it is Welsh.... check that 'The other side of the story'
link at the top, and the feb 16th entry on that page.
I have no idea how to grok Welsh.

Alan is learning Welsh.

True, but perhaps someone could kindly ask Alan for:
Saesneg cyfieithiad, os gwelwch yn dda.

Alan took the Benglish language example on Bitkeeper to point out some
"proprietary" system (here Welsh). It's all about politics, isn't it?

There is nothing wrong with Welsh. Can't a person just be disappointed?
I guess I will have to learn Welsh so that I can continue to read his
posted on the web for everyone to see diary.

Ah, well then, we should all loudly demand that Larry^WAlan provide a
free and Free, Welsh -> English translater hosted on bkbi^Wlinux.org.uk.
Right?
Or perhaps we should ask Alan "That's a Word^WWelsh doc. Can you resend
in plain text^WEnglish?" Hmmm?
*ahem* Back to work.... ;)

I do not speak Walsh, but there are more reasons:
- you can choose who will teach Welsh to you
- you have the *right* to learn Welsh yourself without anyone trying to
kill you
I think that Alan's decision to start writing his diary in Welsh can be
also a lecture for Linus: I hope Alan will change his (bad) decision to use
Welsh and will come back to English even if writing in Welsh is good for
him to learn Welsh but his decision hurts others. The same applies to Linus
and BK.
Only big man can change his bad decision.

Dear me, bitkeeper isnt causing problems except on the odd occasion someone
sends a file bk only, and Larry has a sane answer brewing even for that.
You can grab 2 hourly snapshot diffs of linus bk head v 2.5.latest from
ftp.nl.linux.org, and specific patches he submitted.
As to the diary. I put it on the net because it seemed a sane place for it,
however asking me to change it for the benefit of passers by is rather like
complaing to a neighbour that you don't like the colour of their wallpaper
when you peer into through their windows

On this side of the pond we sometimes have Homeowners Association
restrictive covenants. See the X-files episode where Mulder and Scully
shack up undercover in a gated community and Mulder gets flak for
setting up a basketball goal.

The primary difference being that my lawyer sees no legal issues with
using Welch.
Having once worked on a project which was heavily commented in high school
Latin and BNF, I won't complain, I'll just stop reading until someone
posts a good Welch to English AI.

...and then a garbage-monster comes and tries to kill people. Scary.

What has changed? Alan has not used English for a long time, only
British. Maybe Welch will be an improvement! \\Ducks
