Okay, the (now) oldstable is probably not good enough. We had to sting
to more recent technology.

Yes, that should work.

It depends how you want to run the server, probably docs should be more
clear about this, but wsgi is just one of the options.

Can you please report the problems into bug tracker? SQLite should
really work (though that's not something you would run if you want to
have more than few users).

Well we don't ship setup.py or other stuff for several reasons :-).

Indeed, it should be present in installation tarball, I've tracked this
as https://github.com/nijel/weblate/issues/295

User sees only languages which are used in any of the projects, so if
users gets to configuration before you import any project, it will look
like this. In case it was other way around, please report a bug.

It would be great if you could help us improve the experience. The most
important thing is what you expect and did not happen - I did no new
installation since Weblate was born, so this part is a bit hard for me
to improve...

The right values are:

filemask = res/values-*/strings.xml
template = res/values/strings.xml

The terminology is indeed quite confusing, I'm open to suggestions for
better names.

That would be welcome addition to our docs.
