Just to be clear -- I'm not asking you to change your priorities. I am not asking you to do anything. But I would like to explore whether I can push forward on enabling translators to work with Pootle. Help is welcome, but I understand and accept if you have other priorities right now. But I don't see why this cannot be done in parallel by those who want to get Pootle working sooner. >
