Hi Marcos, TL;DR; go for it!
Anything that eases the translators workflow is always welcome! As for suggestions/criticism: - don't try to fill the complete gap but instead go step by step[1] - fix problems at the right level, i.e. make GNOMECAT be able to push translations maybe is a bit too much, and Damned-Lies is already able to push them, so instead of having to do some git magic, just upload the file to Damned-Lies and order it to push the translation - make it as easier as possible to test it while you develop: i.e. your target audience is translators so the easier you make them to install and try your application, the faster you will get feedback and users will be more happier :) - I could go here and ask for ponies, but first get the basic workflow right and later we can improve it and add more on top of it - as a personal nitpick: change the name please, as the Catalan translation coordinator, whenever I see GNOMECAT I read "GNOME Catalan" :D It's so great to have you again as a GSOC!! Cheers, Gil [1] So make small milestones that in themselves are already useful so that if you do not reach the final goal, all the way leading to it is still useful. Something like: - allow to enter Damned-Lies credentials - be able to pick a module to translate - be able to submit to Damned-Lies a translation El ds 03 de 05 de 2014 a les 20:25 +0200, en/na Marcos Chavarría Teijeiro va escriure: > Hi all, > > I'm Marcos Chavarría, the creator of GNOMECAT [1][2].
