Martin, I and Clytie are subscribed to the Pootle development mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Pootle is a project from the translate.org people (translate-devel project on Sourceforge, from memory). This is basically a web interface system to translation (the translations themselves being based on Portable Object format). As far as I know, noone is working on packaging it, but indeed I intended to develop on this in our d-i paper and talk at Debconf (the part I wrote in the d-i paper about i18n is.....*cough*...rather large). Pootle is rather similar to Ubuntu's Rosetta. However, it being based on completely DFSG-free tools makes it better suited for Debian than Rosetta (sorry, Ubuntu people). Many FLOSS projects are thinking about adopting it and setup a Pootle server either for the project (Gnome, Oo...) or the a translation team (the Basque translation team has one, IIRC...Clytie uses pootle.wordforge.org for Vietnamese translations....). Finding someone in the -i18n people who would like to have a deep loog at Pootle and try packaging it, with the intent of using it on Debian servers would be a killer, yes. This needs some knowledge of Python things probably (but NO Python coding skills) and interaction with the Pootle upstream developers (who are VERY VERY VERY cooperative people). Pootle could certainly come as a nice interface to the DDTP and, more generally to several Debian l10n projects (and why not the WWW translations if we manager to use PO for them as well).
