Based on the comments I have received, I have updated the document. The major changes are:
- removed l10n web page tools - no auto-commit in any tools - proposed changes to pootle server (based on request from andrea, to use/change existing tools) - added more text on the translation workflow, inkl. local teams The document is available as pdf: http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/File:L10procNew2.pdf and (due to a polite hint) as a wiki page: http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Localization_AOO/new_proposal Furthermore a projectplan is available as a wiki page: http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Localization_AOO/workPlan this mail is posted on both ooo-L10n and ooo-dev, but please use ooo-dev for discussions. Andrea: I hope you have time to see if your suggestions are well represented now, so this document could be used as discussion basis when you meet the pootle people. Have a nice evening. jan I.
