[translate-pootle] new to this list

2008-09-29 Thread Steve Herrick
Hello! I'm very interested in Pootle, for both logistical and
philosophical reasons. I've gotten it running locally, though not on a
live webserver.

I take it this list is primarily for developers, but is it OK to bring
user questions/comments here as well?

Users and developers both.  Ask! :-)

Its a mixed bag of people on this list.  All your questions are welcome.

Great! Well, let me start with a doozy. Has there been any talk of
somehow tying Pootle in with any of the better-known CMSs, like Drupal
or Zope?

I know you're all working hard, including on the interface, but when I
tried to install and use Pootle locally (and thinking about installing
it remotely), I kept thinking that the parts I had a hard time with
are things that Drupal, for example, makes really easy.  Let me be
more specific:

First, I installed using apt-get. That made it incredibly easy, of
course, and even the prefs files only threw me off for a few minutes.
The problem is, I don't have root access to my web space, which means
that getting the dependencies in place will certainly be harder.

Second, getting files out of Pootle is very easy, but getting them
*in* is spectacularly difficult. In fact, I never did succeed at it,
despite trying for over an hour, all the while scouring multiple
sources of documentation.

My third issue is something you're already working on, which is
getting ODF working. I'd be happy to help test this. I got the itools
script to work, but ultimately, I'd love to see upload and conversion
be a single step.

It wouldn't surprise me to hear you've considered CMS-ifying Pootle,
and decided against it, but I'd be curious to hear why. Either way, I
look forward to getting Pootle to work, and then watching it improve.
