The "real" discussion about how the migration is being done is in gnome-infrastructure: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-infrastructure/2009-January/thread.html And our scratchpad is here: http://live.gnome.org/GitMigration > If a move eventually takes place, it will require time and effort, so > it would not happen within the next six months. We hope to have working repositories, at least for guinea pigs, within two weeks :) Moving all the repositories over to git will of course require time --- it's not the conversion that is the biggest problem, but fixing the infrastructure and writing documentation. > The big question is, how would a DVCS affect the GNOME localisation workflows? One of my tasks for the migration to Git is to write a little bunch of tutorials for various scenarios --- maintainers, contributors, translators, etc. However, I'm not 100% sure about the workflows that translators tend to use. Do people mostly use web tools (and what happens then --- does the tool commit for them)? Or do they checkout a whole module and simply commit to the .po files? Or do they checkout a *single* .po file and then commit it back, or send patches to a language coordinator?
