Plone can already do this. We don't need an administrator to update the
translations. 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.

Frankly, wordpress is great for a blog. I use it, it's great at that minus
the constant security holes. 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.
