What would be the process of committing the modified translations to our SVN with launchpad.net? Is launchpad.net customizable easily to modify that? Some ideas of how we could integrate it with our SVN: 1) Using JIRA. Note: What they do in maven land is the following (for publishing artifacts to the central repo): * A JIRA project. * Then they have a script that reads the attached files directly from JIRA and apply them So we could have something like: * Automatically create a jira issue with a patch attached * Have a tool that reads the jira issues and apply the patches (btw this could be generic to any type of jira patches) 2) Another solution would be to use Git and merge Git branches into our svn trunk. This is very easy to do with Git. The downside is that our contributors will not be technical so Git would be too complex for them. 3) Another solution would be to have the svn commit be made directly from the web application (by a committer). This means specifying the svn password when committing for ex. 4) Another solution would to have a special SVN server or project that has no passwords for committing and it's the users who commit directly to it using a username they provide. This would send a diff email to the list (as normal) and committers would do the review and commit the changes by doing a merge.
