support for new file types or do we need to settle on any changes that

translation kit first?



One goal of Haiku is to avoid major API changes from the BeOS API, at least
for this release.  This is especially true for the Translation Kit since we
want to be able to use all of the Translators currently available and not
have to we-write them all.  If you are interested in support for new file
types, I would suggest working on a Translator for that file type that works
in BeOS.  If it works there, it should work in Haiku.
