[jifty-devel] Jifty now supports Localization (Was Re: jifty l10n and stuff)

[Daniel McBrearty]

that's great Jesse, thanks.

I'm still very much on the learning curve with how to build a jifty app, and
the first thing I need to do is pick up some mason I guess. But as soon as I
get a chance I'll start taking a look at how engoi might fit into this
framework. When I do, I'll probably have lots of feedback for you ...!

thanks a gain
