Hi Pavel,

No. It is not about skills of people using it. The problem is as follows:

- we think that Pootle could be usefull for some teams

- Pootle is unusable for some (e.g. you can't use it to define new locale XML file, you can't change the source code in l10n related stuff with it, or you simply use different translation method or translate OOo)

You miss one important point: l10n project is in charge of providing a working method and workflow fo the members to do translations. So - if pootle is a method for translation that is adviced to use, I *is* a l10n related discussion. Furthermore - It should be in your focus as l10n Co-Lead, that some teams need to use pootle (as this is the only way their contributions get accepted). So please work on the issues to be resolved - or on providing another workflow.


- I do not want people for whom Pootle is unusable to be forced to spend their time on reading Pootle related messages (even if there is only one per month!)

Repeat after me: pootle translation method is not l10n, it is one method from several translation methods and translation is subset of l10n.

And according to the proposed guidelines of workflow, there have to be some communication from the maintainers of pootle to their users. This communication have caused a lot of questions in the past (and you do not see them all - some went directly in my mailbox).
Maybe this was sent to you, as people expect that you as a Co-Lead should take care about it?

André
