It makes more sense to put this work on the original version of gvSIG and try to work together. Is your Complete English translations and communication in gvSIG 1.9? We are working to have a complete English translations and
communication (all web pages, all documentation, all traffic on the bug tracking list, source code comments, error messages and GUI strings) in gvSIG Project but without a branch because is easier and more sustainable for the future to work directly with gvSIG Team. <br>Maybe you can explain us the reasons you had to decide to make a branch and how do you want to make it sustainable.
