I thought about 4 times a year. Considering how many updates the PO files currently get, 12 times a year would probably be an overkill. Anyway, the update frequency should be rather tightly coupled with release frequency model, so we'll see later this year. > This way we, the translators could know when to send you the updated > files before they re-syncronize with the source code, without worrying > about working on an obsolete file. It should not be a problem to work on an older file or even on a different version; msgmerge will take care of the update. > So, do you recommend us to work only the master branch, and forget > about next or maint? Yes, at least for the time being. WRT `maint', there will soon be several active `maint-X.Y' release branches, and this is where most of the translating work should be naturally happening. WRT `next', I think this branch is too much of a bleeding edge for anyone to spend time translating its phrases; it may be better if `next' simply gets its translations via `master' or via a new `maint-X.Y' branch, once it stabilises.
