How many languages will we support?
How many platforms will we support?
How many full installation sets will we provide for those languages
and platforms?
How many language packs will we provide for those languages and platforms?

Will we provide full installation sets and language packs like this?
These are all questions that have no answer yet and I don't see
qualified answers for the moment as we don't know who can build and test
how many builds on what platforms.
E.g., does someone have a Solaris Sparc machine *and* is willing to
build some dozends install sets *and* is able to do QA? If not, then
Sparc is pretty fast out of the game.
The same for Solaris x86, however, it could be installed in a virtual
machine but I don't know how to quality would be to use these install
sets as an official release.
They were built based on the following policy.
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Languages
"If OpenOffice.org UI (User Interface) and HC (Help Content) are
translated around 80% in your language and your language localization
data is available within OpenOffice.org CVS / SVN / HG, Oracle Hamburg
team would build an install set of your language. If the UI is
translated around 80% only a language pack will be built."
Will we follow this policy?
These issues will affect the setting up of Pootle.

I would suggest to import every byte of every language that we could
get. Then we have the possiblity to offer some starting point to the
respective NL community to go on with localization.
For a new release we can then see how much is translated and decide if
it makes sense to release a specific language.
E.g., when you have a ratio of 40 % UI and 0 % Help for Klingon, does it
make sense to release it? No, as more than the half of the UI is in
English (as default language) and nothing in the help.
So, here we have to make some rules when a l10n release make sense and
when not. For this the following criteria could be starting point:
