Short term: only reporting and maybe translation coordinator changes over the web. Longer term: full translation team management. Haven't yet given any thought to implementing Pootle- or Rosetta-like functionality, and I think it would be easier to integrate with any of these existing tools if we want web-based translation. > Do you think it's possible to bind it with a svn server > dedicated to translation as mentionned here > http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2006-December/msg00205.html > ? > It could be a good basis to a GNOME translation platform. (Maybe I'm > dreaming :) ) The problem with binding with SVN is privileges: if we use single dedicated SVN account for process doing the updates, we lose track of SVN history (who committed what), and we have to be careful when programming to not make mistakes which would allow complete access to Gnome SVN. And we make use of SVN over SSH with each coordinator still having their own SVN account, we've got the problem of entering SSH key passphrases on commit. Granted, any of these can be solved in one way or another, but it requires a lot of care, whereas with read-only code, there's nothing to mess up :) Cheers, Danilo _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
