I don't think this is quite right; translation generally doesn't require developer level knowledge of the thing being translated, so a pool of translators could work on all our software, rather than being tied to a specific sub-project, like httpd-doc's translators. (see http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/ for where I'm going with this.)
> Why would incubator have anything to do with it? I don't think this is a project that needs to be incubated, it should be a function of the foundation, almost. Whilst, yes, the commits will have to be performed by individual projects, a place for translation teams to coordinate, develop best practises and also recruit new translators would be, I suspect, very welcome.
