I never meant to say that shouldn't keep your markdown source. The process would be to generate po files (with po4a) for translation purpose only. There's no porting and no extra work involved (well you still have to generate something, but you'd have to anyway). > Finally we want to note that the website means also a lot of longer > contents (not just UI buttons' text), as well as regular updates, like > news, but also tutorials, and such, since we are really trying to get > the community rolling more and more with us.

We don't really have a way to get an automated notification when you update the content for something that doesn't have releases. We could abuse the freeze system to do that, but that would just be confusing. I think if you could send us an email requesting updates when you do changes, that would be great. Of course you'd have to find balance so that you don't ping us every other week. :-) > So would this be possible?
