This is the part that I do not understand. Does getting into GNOME mean using GNOME infrastructure or being an official module. Solang is not an official module. The reason for using git.gnome.org is one of convenience and alignment. eg., getting our Mallard documentation reviewed, staying upto date with the GNOME Goals, etc.. > Just consider hundreds of one time launchpad clickers, updating the > work of organized gnome team (to be clear; not all of launchpad users > are clickers of course). I do not know about Launchpad because I have never used it. But in Transifex.net developers have the option of allowing anyone to submit or require that new translators or teams ask for permission. Solang requires that new translators/teams ask for permission. > Solang is being translated by the same team as other gnome > translations to Slovenian, no matter where it is hosted, because it's > a good project.

The problem with Tx.net is that there is no way a developer can communicate directly with the l10n community. Ofcourse translators are notified by Tx about string changes, but it is hard for me to say "Hey here is a new program and I would like to have translations for it". I am told work is on to add this feature to Tx. > If developers state: "Therefore in cases of conflicts (we have not had > any till now) I plan to give preference to > the submissions from Damned Lies.", then there should really be no problems. That is a good way to move forward and work together, yes.
