Well, I just thought that, considering the flow of emails on OLPC lists, I'd better make it short :) > The real need is the need to see who translated what, who translated > when, and who translated.

Considering Pootle is some kind of structured-wiki-over-CVS/dVCS, having access to the last modification date and to the last active user on a file seems quite reasonable to me. I'm fully aware that developing such a feature requires time, and I'm only 10% aware of how much development effort it would require. But I'm also convinced that the effort of developing a nice and useful interface for the HTTP logs would be a waste of time, as other Pootle projects wouldn't benefit from it as easily. > To recap: Making the date of the last edit known (or the date and name > of the last edit(or)) will solve only one problem and only in certain > circumstances.

If each change if a commit in the translation database, then this commit has a date and an author attached to it. Let's make it visible.
