Merge

There are 3 Generations of Translation Branches. These mother groups and all their subgroups must be merged in a way that allows to look up the former results losslessly. In other words: Each language is available up to triple, plus eventual sub-subgroups. Detect, regroup (blueprint)... a moving announcement to all the moderators (and members?) and then the actual moving/merging. (--Kaoxoni 18:12, 18 January 2007 (EST))
