+typo.php - is a crude syntax checker to avoid checking in files with simple
+typos. It basically just loads each of our project files at once. Run from
+cmdline and see if any parsing errors are reported.
+
+extract.php - extracts translatable strings from our project files. It
+currently doesn't pick up strings in other libraries we might be using such as
+tinymce, simplepie, and the HTML parsers.
+
+In order for extract to do its job, every use of the t() translation function
+must be preceded by one space. The string also can not contain parentheses. If
+parens are required in a string, please use hex escapes.
+
+strings.php - a recent run of the strings program. This provides output that
+is suitable for direct inclusion in the program once the app has been
+initialised.
+
+There are also translatable strings in the various files in the view
+directory. By setting $lang = 'something' in .htconfig.php, the application
+will search for view/something/filename prior to the English version in
+view/filename when loading templates and view files.
