Dear Gnash-devs,

How would you feel about having a copy of your UI PO files hosted on the
Sugar Labs / OLPC / eToys Pootle server?

It would not be the official copy, of course, that would remain in your
Savannah repo (http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnash.git;a=tree;f=po);
but it would be a convenince to our substantial localization group (over
1800 localizers working on over 100 languages/dialects) and could be used by
your folks as an improved collaboration platform for L10n.

I've noticed that Gnash has relatively few languages (<10) and fairly low
completion levels.  I believe we can improve on that if we host a copy of
your PO files on our Pootle server. This is important to us as a downstream
that ships Gnash as part of our builds.  I anticipate more L10n activity to
come from hosting it on our Pootle server than by simply pointing people to
work on your unhosted L10n (mailing list) workflow; however, we would not
look to have the same repo commit linking that we establish for projects in
our git repo.  There would still be a manual process of upstream submission
and commit after the PO was finalized.  Our Pootle server would merely serve
as a collaborative tool for finding and completing the PO.

I believe that some of you are fairly familiar with Sugar Labs / OLPC and
that there are a number of Gnash project members that are also Sugar Labs /
OLPC participants (John Gilmore <jgilmore>;  Tomeu Vizoso <tomeu>; Sridhar
Dhanapalan <yama>).  You hopefully know that Sugar Labs (especially the L10n
community) tries to play well with others.  What I am proposing is
essentially a matter of enlightened self-interest, which I could have done
asking without permission, but I wanted to see how you guys felt about this
idea before proceeding.
