Probably (indeed, I'm sure of this and you probably know more than me
for some of them).....but these are different from one project to
another. 

Speaking, for instance, for Debian (at least Debian Installer), we
"only" have direct SVN access without a real friendly user
interface. Indeed, we have a Pootle instance, but I don't consider it
to be maintained enough to be "production-ready". Other projects might
have different interfaces ranging from direct commit to various kinds
of VCS, Pootle instances, something on (yurk) Rosetta or anything
else.

Gathering everything in one place *with the various l10n projects
agreement* could be an interesting way to easily involve more ppl in
localization work.

Another idea would be to make better use of things like Transifex (an
idea that's floating around for so long time for Debian
stuff....)....instead of rebuilding a "central" infrastructure that
might suffer from difficulties in proper
maintenance/monitoring/updates/etc.

I still have (still vague as of now) plans to come over to India in
October for a "mini-Debconf" located in Mangalore, and I would indeed
be pleased to discuss this "live" (even though centered on
Debian...using such opportunity might be very interesting)...in case
this really happens (it's now time to make this real...).
