Time to drop Weblate (Was: The Norwegian Bokmål translation team move from Transifex to Weblate)

Now we know how it went.  There has been steady oppisition to using the
web based translation editor since before the weblate project was
created, and I fail to see the upside for my part to being included in
that conflict.  Luckily the Norwegian translation is almost 100%, so the
starting point for the future is good.

Anyway, some background for the change, from IRC today:

<h01ger> pere: please get the zh_Hant translators to add themselves to
         $wiki/CopyRight 
<pere> h01ger: how did you think that should happen?  I have no contact
         with them besides the emails on the list.
         
<h01ger> no idea then
<h01ger> no other idea then
<h01ger> use the list
<h01ger> without a copyright notice, we cannot distribute their
         work. the way to get d-e-doc's d/copyright updated, is via
         adding it to $wiki/CopyRight
<pere> you want me to send an email to a translator and tell him you
       asked me to get him to update the wiki? 
<h01ger> pere: you can also update those wiki pages
<pere> you lost me here.  why do you involve me, instead of talking
       directly to the translator? 
<h01ger> pere: you seem to think adding translations via weblate comes
         with no costs (=no additional work). this is not true. please
         take some responsibility for the work caused by that work 
<pere> right.  I'll shut down the weblate project, then.  I do not want
       to take the role of coordinating translators.
* h01ger sighs
<h01ger> maybe you can find somebody else to do it instead?
<pere> maybe.  I have no interest in fighting over the issue, I barely
       have time to run 'git pull' once in a while. 
<pere> but I am not going to spend time on it, it is quicker to just
       conclude that the opposition is present and I do not want to
       spend more time on it.

I've locked down the weblate project now (ie no-one will be able to add
or update translations there any more) to make sure no more sync-ing
between the git repos are needed, and unless someone show up to take
over the responsibility of synchronizing between weblate and salsa
before Friday 2019-02-15, I'll ask the Weblate admin to remove/drop the
debian-edu-documentation project from Weblate.

Heaps of other stuff to translate there, so we will not become idle. :)

you are curious.
