With the documentation moving to PO files soon (as well as changes

I follow this list pretty closely but I must have missed this
(rather important) news item. When will the documentation move to PO
files? How will this change the translation process and source
files? Is this move documented somewhere? In short, is there an
other list where such decisions are made that I'm unaware of?
Several translation related discussions have taken place on the
subject although typically they have been short threads. The English
documentation process will not change as PO files are only used by
translations. The process has been poorly documented (by me) but is
moving forward. It's a bit chaotic especially considering the rush to
get it done before the project moves to SVN but here are a few recent
threads on the topic:
- http://markmail.org/thread/iqxkiekmvz6h43lt
- http://markmail.org/thread/kidqiimuglh2tmfh
- http://markmail.org/message/fduqvora3lef4cit
A test repository with PO files are in CVS although they are only
English (POT) and Japanese as it's purely for testing purposes:
- http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/phpdoc-po/
How PO files will be managed is still up in the air but we're in the
midst of testing out several systems including:
- http://www.transifex.net/projects/php/
- http://translate.php.net/
Neither of the above work today as our project appears too large for
transifex.net to handle (today, they are discussing how to solve this)
but they offer a system that could coincide with whatever else we
choose as it offers help from an additional translation community. And
our Pootle setup (at translate.php.net) is sketchy with a strange bug
(thanks to me) but once Michael has time he'll look into it as my
sysadmin skills sit right around null.
So that's the situation. Given the mere size of this move, the SVN
rush, and my lack of knowledge (but it's interesting to learn this)
I'm afraid it won't go smoothly. All help is desired, as are questions
and/or answers.

Philip
