Read-only export of SVN as Git is reasonably straightforward - John Carr set up git-mirror.gnome.org before we switched over. I'm not saying that we'd be willing to set it up, but at least it is clear how to do it. But a "write-through" mirror where people can commit to Git and its propagated back to SVN isn't practical. I don't know if there is a gnome-infrastructure solution here. If Git isn't an option, then probably the best thing to do is to use a web-based translation community. For example, translate.fedoraproject.org, other alternatives exist. (I do firmly believe that Git is a big upgrade from SVN, even for "old farts". I'm not much of an experimenter myself with my toolset, but once started using it, I couldn't go back.) - Owen _______________________________________________ gnome-infrastructure mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-infrastructure
