There is nothing inherently difficult about it, there will be an obvious window from when the translations are added and a timed restart of the application server. We could even use inotify to watch changes to po nodes and restart based on that. Again, what is difficult or not technically possible with Plone here? To my knowledge all of this has been discussed in irc and on the mailing list a couple of times.

That said gnome.org isn't a blog and that's as far as it goes. Wordpress is simply not an option. So pasting a theme on-top of blog software is a waste of time. It's clearly not functional for the needs outlined for the project. Personally i'm a little fatigued talking about it everytime it comes up; that said if you really want to help it would be useful to get whoever the gnome system administrator and any of the plone devels still willing to help and pushing the beta version of the site in Plone to completion. So we can get on with this. Maybe it's time for a refresh of Gnome bounties or some such or throw it into a contract phase so we can get this complete. As far as addons.gnome.org it's simply not a priority past getting gnome.org finished. You're free to do whatever you want but I don't think anyone should be entertaining discussion there right now. -- Christopher Warner http://cwarner.kernelcode.com
