    + pretty good week, turnaround time is close to ideal
    + additional windows + linux build helped
    + increased size of ccache on one of the mac builders
      + 5G → 50G now
      + 95% hit rate on macs with 50GB ccache (vs 72% on the one with 5GB)

* l10n (Sophie)
  + work going on
  + is it possible to use machine-translate in weblate? (Hossein)
    + less of a technical problem, rather: do you want to use it? (Cloph)
    + amazon/microsoft/google support is in weblate
      (  https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/admin/machine.html )
      + would have to go with a paid tier, probably
      + not really a technical question: some languages would like that, some not
      + would love investigation in this area (Olivier)
        + saving of typing is important, result is quite good for pt_BR
        + aware of non-prorietary services as well, e.g.: http://matecat.com/
      + who would decide? (Cloph)
        + google vs yandex vs …
=> suggest to take this to the l10n list (Cloph)
