Hi all, and Simos thanks for the forwarded email; didn't receive it since I
was only subscribed on the translate-devel list.

First of all, I think the work you guys are doing on Wordforge is great and
valuable for the community. Pootle and the Toolkit have proved useful in the
past for teams in which I was a member.

I'd be more than happy to extend a tool instead of writing anything from
scratch; glad Wordforge writes in Python. :)

A full explanation of the Fedora GSoC project can be found at [1].

Basically, the project has two objectives:

  1. Deploy an interface providing translation statistics for Fedora
  2. Provide a tool that enables seamless commits to upstream projects

Of course these are not rigid and we can adapt them etc, but they are our
primary concern. No plans for online/web translations in the project's scope but
I'd be happy for suggestions for future work!

The first one is a simple concept, found in many projects; I particularly like
GNOME's Damned Lies approach. I imagine the second as a tool (Web UI with a
command-line tool) that handles *remotely-SCM-hosted* PO files for people who
have access to Fedora l10n. The (remote) project manager creates one SCM account
for the whole fedora-l10n community which the tool uses to checkin/out files for
translators, regardless of the SCM.

Could these two could fit in Wordforge's vision for version control [2]? If yes,
where and how?
