This is the translations protocol I proposed to the spanish mailing list. Is
based on debian protocol, but a little tweaked for our needs. The "orders"
are in english so other languages teams can use the same.

[ITT] (Intent To Translate)

   It's sent to indicate you are going to work in a translation, so double
work can be avoided. If it's a web page you need to send the link.

[RFR] (Request For Review)

  This is used when the translation is finished and you are requesting
others to review it. Sometimes a RFR2 can follow if big chances have been
made to the document. If a person who reviewed the document didn't find any
mistakes he should tell so.

[ITR] (Intent to Review)

  It's sent to announce that a translation is going to be revised.

[REV] (Revised)

  It's sent when a translation have been revised. The new document is
attached to the message. The message should say the mistakes fixed.

[DONE]

  A document is translated and ready to be published.

The person that sent the ITR will be the one in charge. This means, if 7
days have passed and no one send a [REV] he have the decision to change the
status of the translation to [DONE].

The document translated will be send in his original form. I mean by this
send the html if it's a web page not a text document with the translation,
but the original document with new text.

The pages translated will have an "es." prefix. Example, index.html >>
es.index.html.

An example of a message to the list will be:

Subject: [ITT] (builder.html)

Message:  <<link to the page here>>

Please tell what do you think
