Very interested. As suggested on #pootle I'd love to see some kind of plan to migrate. My ideal is a scenario where we see the patches being logical and obvious and allows us to easily review the migration.
A branch is logical but I would love to see a situation where we can merge code as we go. Ie using both frameworks (if possible, it might not be) and moving logical bits across.
