I suppose temporarily, we could get around this by creating an Odd Files project, then uploading such files into it. Maybe you could include a warning that the file will be deleted after a week of non- activity (default: cron?), and one could check a box to prevent that. Of course, it would be viable to create individual projects for these files, as long as they could be updated using Pootle. But currently, I get the files singly from the maintainers, at odd intervals. I suppose they're in source control somewhere. Otherwise, contacting the admins to create a project for a single file, simply to be able to translate/update it, often won't be worth the time, if that file becomes obsolete afterwards. You cound spend a day or two setting this up, for an edit time often under half an hour, on a file that will be obsolete by the time the next update comes along. from Clytie (vi-VN, Vietnamese free-software translation team / nhóm Việt hóa phần mềm tự do) http://groups-beta.google.com/group/vi-VN ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
