For Translators:

Hi All,
Discussion thread below about whether we should use SVN (subversion) as
a replacement for CVS for access to translatable content for the
proposed translation process we are hoping to make available for test
soon. Anyone care to comment or have any preferences?

That is interesting. I'll have a look to see how it works.

Oh - I know what you mean by using HTTP now! You mean like using Pootle?
I thought you were talking about straight download and upload of non
version controlled files when we had our discussion.
We do want to implement Pootle but there were other things we felt were
needed first - like the automated extraction of content & merge. Pootle
is a natural future step though.

OK.
