@cbrownstein: Thanks for being proactive on this issue!

I merged the branch.

Still, I have 2 little remarks in terms of process, though none of them are a big deal:

• I want us to always mark as “Blocking: Feature #16711” for the tickets that we want to work on with our shared budget. It’s the best mechanism that we have (outside of meetings) to explicit where we decide that it’s worth spending our time. In this case, I agree with your decision because it’s a very small issue and a regression introduced in 3.16. But it might not be the case for all issues reported by the help desk. This goes both ways and I also want you to keep an eye on what’s on the view and tell me if you disagree :) Keeping our view up-to-date also makes it clear to the rest of the project how we decide to spend our budget.

• Fixing the URLs was of doubtful cost/benefit because it would break the translations for all these lines (mark them as ‘fuzzy’) and at least http://pidgin.im/ was redirected automatically to HTTPS. The alternative is to prevent the translations to break by changing the links in the PO files as well. I did this in 20d9166ff4, though it took me a bit of time. Updating these PO files manually would definitely not be worth our time and I only update them like this when I can do it with sed, for example with:

sed -i 's@http://pidgin.im/@https://pidgin.im/@g' wiki/src/doc/anonymous_internet/pidgin.*.po

Please mark this ticket as “Resolved” once you read my comment :)
