Non-constructive "directness" is useless and has no place on this list.
Being direct and helpful is quite welcome!

We have a TON of work to do. And people tend to work on what they like. The
doc will get done; it is just a matter of "when". Frankly, I've found that
the community here has been much better with doc than some of the other
communities that I'm involved with.

We aren't doing i18n for 1.0. That will come in a later release. But it will
be here. We want to have user-friendly error messages. Our target market is
everybody -- from hard core programmers to senile grandmothers.

Subversion allows you to do complete moves, copies, and deletes of *both*
file and directories. Assuming that is what you're seeking (I'm not familiar
with 'arch', so I don't know the feature you're referring to), then we
definitely have it.

Our working copies are much better than CVS. You can do a helluva lot
without talking to the repository: add, remove, move, copy, diff, etc. You
can find out what you've changed, what those changes are, etc. The only real
things that you need the network repository for are updates and commits.
That *does* mean that you can't do multiple commits to a local repository,
and then sync those up to a master repository.

Haven't you ever heard of "digest" mode? That is obviously how you're
reading the wxWindows mailing lists. There are two options here:
1) go to the subversion project on tigris.org and subscribe yourself in
Digest mode; that will be for your tigris.org mail account, tho.
2) ask a mailing list admin (such as myself and a few others), and we can
move you from the per-message to the digest mode of the mailing list (for
whatever email address)

Read the HACKING document for starters.
