Could you please remove the form field autofocus from the contact pages? I’d like for people to read the entire page before they submit the contact form, and having it focus the field, Chrome automatically scrolls down to it.

Locale site changes being in progress, can I request some kind of menu bar synchronization between locale sites and locale forums, so that the menu is the same on the forums? At https://pl.wordpress.org/ we have a link to the forums in the main menu, but if you click it, you get an entirely new main menu, provided by bbPress. Can this be changed somehow?

It’s not very clear what licence the translations fall under, judging from the PO file headers generated by GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org.

Each language will have its own PO file, for example, for French there would be a fr_FR.po file, for german there would be a de_DE.po, for British English there might be en_GB.po. probably aren’t published anywhere aside from the translation packages. Another thing is that there should be a notice saying “by submitting your translations you agree that you’re licensing them under the GNU GPLGPL GPL is an acronym for GNU Public License. It is the standard license WordPress uses for Open Source licensing https://wordpress.org/about/license/. The GPL is a ‘copyleft’ license https://www.gnu.org/licenses/copyleft.en.html. This means that derivative work can only be distributed under the same license terms. This is in distinction to permissive free software licenses, of which the BSD license and the MIT License are widely used examples.” or a checkbox that you mark upon registration, so that the translations are actually licenced to be distributed with WordPress.

Do we have to manually import translations into the 3.5.x branch? And should we release 3.5.1 from “3.5.x” or “Development”? (Just making sure.)
