Hi all, The Russians would prefer a big repository with all translations in it and everybody working on it. I think this would be convenient for projects like d-i, where a cvs repository is open for commits. And translations are changing rapidly.
The pseudo-url system, I think, works better for the general debian situation, where we will have to deal with individual packages and their maintainers (which is not going to change, see -devel thread of last week). With this system it's much clearer who works on what, and who will submit the translation to the BTS (only a few packages have a repository). The status page will make it more apparent when something is stuck or not dealt with. Ideally I would want to integrate the status page into http://people.debian.org/~barbier/intl/l10n/po-debconf/nl . Then We would have a single page showing showing the current situation in packages and the status of a new translation. Of course we would then always be one release behind. This could be tackled be allowing maintainers to send in a file to translate. If we have the system up and running we could write a script that does this which could be included in dpkg-dev or the like. grts Tim
