Not much progress for me the last week.  I managed to submit and get
accepted patches to make more strings translatable, but that is about
it.  Cleaned up the locale switching code a bit too, but nothing big.

I am unsure how to progress.  I would like to get to the point where I
can get reports inserted into the database, but it will probably
require a working mapit mechanism to map locations to local area
government, and it might also require a working map.  But a working
map will probably need to replace northing/easting with long/lat, and
I am not sure how such change would be received by the mysociety
people, as it probably require a change of their existing database
content.

I guess I will try to fake mapit (just put a large area around all of
norway), and see if I run into new problems and strings when I get
further in the report registration process.

Happy hacking,
