Hi everyone

Translate.org.za & Mozilla are busy migrating Pootle from jToolkit onto Django.

**

What this means for translators

In the near future, Pootle will start scaling much better, which means more projects, more users, but most importantly: more speed.

Mozilla has also given Pootle a significant facelift, which makes the experience of using it all the better.

**

What this means for developers

This is a good time to jump in and help us do a major rework of Pootle. Django is an extremely cool framework and a joy to work on.

Our goals for the near future for Pootle modifications are as follows:

1. Stabilize Pootle - the shift onto Django has broken quite a lot of functionality.
 1.1. Right now we need to fix the authentication system.
2. Release the stabilized and tested Pootle.
3. Add concurrency to Pootle.
4. Release the newly concurrent version of Pootle.

A long term goal is to make Pootle entirely database backed. But the sooner we reach the goals above, the sooner we can start thinking about Pootle without files.

**

The most recent code in our repository already contains a lot of changes. If you are interested in running the code, visit:

http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/developers/the_great_pootle_migration

Grab the code from SVN:

svn co https://translate.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/translate/src/trunk/Pootle/

The current most stable revision of the code is r9214. To get it, run:

svn co -r9214 https://translate.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/translate/src/trunk/Pootle/

Cheers
Wynand
