I will not recommend have extra root people on the vm, but if really needed we could change ownership of the po files so the vm-team can do the po commands. > Having all languages there requires even more maintenance work over time > that I am not willing to spend if there is no active community > You see something that I overlook, please enlighten me. Apart from the initial work (which have to be done at some point anyhow), I see our running maintenance as: - Maintain mysql, httpd and pootle (that is done by me alone today, and I dont need extra help) - Restart pootle in case of problems (that is done by vm-team, in total 5 people, that should be enough) - Run "pootle refresh_stat" regulary (done by me, and with my current experience I will put it in crontab) - Run "pootle sync" to update the po files for backup (currently only done by you, but I will be happy to put that in crontab as well, and btw 1 cmd, not 1 pr language). When we want to build for a release, there are a couple of extra issues: - Convert po files back to sdf (currently done by you, but that would only affect the languages we actually build, so no difference from today). The only real extra work is when there are new strings: - Convert sdf files with templates to po files for each language. This is real extra work, but I have proposed to do it this time, and I hope to have genLang ready for 4.1, so we can skip the conversion.

In the future (genLang and already tested) the idea is: - have the po directory made as a checkout from svn (main/languages) - after a pootle sync command, manually commit to svn (or if agreed upon, let the pootle user do that). so in the (hopefully) near future, only real maintenance needs to access the server. > > Juergen > > > > > As for the rest, see http://markmail.org/message/4oxacrviktdbmbcv but > > some important remarks are: > > > > 1) Languages that have 3.4.1 but not 4.0.0 in Pootle: preserve their > > work in the "aoo401" project (I don't know what this entails, but I > > assume that Jan's remarks about merging with the 4.0 templates apply > here) > that was my intention, of course first after we agree on it.

I am all for removing the old projects (that will save both jsc and me time), but I understood on jsc that he wanted to keep them.
