Of course, everyone can use what he/she wants but ... as you say it is only one tool among others. How can I in Pootle: - search and/or replace quickly over all oo.o tree some hundreds of strings - copy msgid into msgstr with one keypress - scroll quickly up and down or to next untranslated/fuzzy, having in same time a significant part of other strings visible? - have an email notification with diff of every submission - limit access of users who are very active but cannot write 4 words without doing 6 hard grammatical errors? ;) - etc. Otherways, pootle too can be connected to cvs/svn repo, but I want to see at first a level 1 solution which gives us workflow, similar to other OSS projects with: - version control system - membership managed by project lead(s) - notifications to mailing list for first checking and feedback purpose Some of us have these at moment using oo.o webspace. What we not have, is central input/output/overview, which should be also solved in much lower level than pootle is. ain --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
