I wonder why it should be important for the statistics if we have 
Version numbers in the project or not.  If someone is actually doing a 
translation this is counted - and that is what matters (regardless of 
the version she contributed to).

I'd like to see the the development brach and the "current stable but in 
bugfix-mode" version in pootle. It's by far more easy to trasnaltors to 
fix translation issues at the same place where they did the full 
translation - so whoever is using pootle to do translations will likely 
do bug fixing through pootle as well.

As second point: in OOo we had several languages that (due to lack of 
personal resources) could not deliver 100% translation in time. These 
languages got in troubles, when the "old but stable" strings got 
replaced with the new developer version.

So although it was not really planned that way, I like the current 
situation to have the strings for at least two LibO-Versions in pootle.

regards,

André
