Other than that you can put whatever you like as version number.
2) You can choose whether to allow people to submit their own language packs for your plugin on the mods site.
3) Either way is fine I guess. You could probably even use the report post feature.
Thanks!
But now I found an annoying thing: mods.mybb.com cropped the plugin version I entered in the form, 0.0_dev20121219 was turned into 0.0_dev20121. And mods.mybb.com is doing this silently in the backend instead of specifying maxlength on the <input>. Huh, as 0.0_dev20121 is smaller than 0.0_dev20121219 it shouldn't cause an "infinite update" issue right now, I hope? And my plan is to use 0.1 for next version when it gets stable. But really they should at least tell me the version string will get cropped before form submission!
