Well, yes, but it fits into the model that il8n people are doing using POT files. > While gnome.org is now going to Plone, you can still watch a site > being migrated to Midgard in the Maemo community: Cool! > There we do the migration process in an open way, maintaining > conversion scripts and layout templates in a public SVN repository. > > This one might be interesting for the GNOME community also because > we're migrating content areas managed by several apps gnome.org uses > like MoinMoin and GTKdoc to Midgard.

I think you're the only guys actually using GNOME internally right?
