- define http/ftp addresses, where the translation teams put their manuals (for online viewing and for downloads)
Do you mean it should be some centralized adress like "manuals-ftp-bla.php.net"?
Nope. Any ftp or www address. We just need a simple associative array, like:
$manual_sources = array( ... 'fr' => 'ftp://ftp.nexen.net/...', 'hu' => 'http://weblabor.hu/phpmanual/', ... );
Maybe it's better to have one ftp-server for such stuff? Many of FTP's will produce more head ache, of course. Teams need just to upload newly build manual to this ftp-server - imho this is more convenient solution for all. Am I wrong?
In case you have a separate FTP/HTTP server for your own build, then you can run a build with cron, and you don't need to bother with automatically uploading stuff, and handling problems in the process. That would be handled in the central polling script. Plus systems@ don't need to give out user accounts for some ftp / scp service, which takes time (don't know how much), and probably some secure sandbox setup for these accounts, so they will not put data directly into the webspace, nor should they be able to put up things doing harm to any mirror site.
