Geertjan said he's going to look into the spam problem.

Masaki sent an update the other week and starting with NetBeans 7.3 we =
have builds that include the community contributed l10n again (which was =
also forgotten with 7.2.1)!

So tell everybody we are back in business.

      The <a href="http://netbeans.org/projects/nblocalization/lists/it/archive">Italian

      spammers, so I decided to unsubscribe, also considering that the

      The problem is that both the subscription form (luckily, an

      captchas, so anyone (better: anything) can subscribe and send spam

      Can anyone point this out ot the webmasters, in order to provide
