We should probably try to reach a compromise here. I still think
moving translations to their own package is a good idea, but other
points from the proposal remain valid without it.
If we could agree on the following other points raised here and in
other people's mails, that would already be a major step forward:
1. A more formal system to be put in place on alioth, where you can
more easily give write access to your translations to the
translation teams.
2. Encourage more people to move their code to alioth. I guess this
is a pretty good idea in general, that pretty much everybody
already agrees on.
3. Try to put some sort of system in place to automatically warn
translators about changed strings.
4. The good old string freeze. I don't personnally understand
Wouter's "Ha !" comment, but I'm sure he'll be willing to expand
upon this ?
cheers
