I disagree.
If Python files are not excluded, I think that po and md files shouldn't be excluded for consistancy.
NVDA excludes the source code in binaries, but add-ons are smaller and the source code allows modifications and learning about development.
Furthermore, if some files are excluded, perhaps detailed documentation about building add-ons from source is required, and perhaps the readme of add-on template is not enough.
I remember a similar discussion time ago.
Thanks.

Hi all,

When NVDA is compiled, various nvda.po files are excluded, leaving only
.mo files. Same applies to readme - .t2t files are excluded, leaving
.html files. This results in significant disk space savings. I’d like to
propose that a modification to addonTemplate/sconstruct be made to
exclude .po and .md files starting with our upcoming spring/fall
quarterly maintenance releases. Thanks.

Cheers,

Joseph
