I do not know what has been discussed at DebConf, but I hope that
Debian translators will only translate Debian material and not
interfere with other translation teams.
I hope we keep translating Debian material with an eye on what others
are doing. Why not? The licensing issue needs to be sorted out in
some (Rosetta?) cases, but we won't start burning upstream potfiles (eg:
GNOME) for nothing so we can coordinate the work from the start.

Err, no, we have to not repeat the same mistakes.
Hopefully you misunderstood my sentence. It isn't a mistake give the
translations back to the upstream. Probably you considered that i was
asking for merge Rosetta stuff on our Pootle and then forward it to the
upstream directly. No, that's why i wrote about suggestions to reviewers
and all the other points i raised there.
