I'm dreaming of using pootle as a central database here, so that these

It's a beautiful thought. Hopefully we can do some of that. My dream,
as a OSS translator, is to have _all_ my projects available on the
same Pootle server, but that may be a bit much to expect. ;)
Will see what we manage to do, but that's all I have to offer for now.
It's a huge amount, thankyou very much, Martin. :) Having lots of
translators to co-ordinate isn't exactly a problem for us, but the
rest of it is very interesting. It will take me a while to work
through, but I'll do it bit by bit.
Even if I have recorded the date of translating the file, if the file
is still sitting in the Update section on the status page, I think
the only way to find out if it needs updating again or not is still
to open both files and diff them. :(
(Or wait until the developer says, "Why aren't you translating my
file?" :D)
I suppose my best option is to track the bug reports. Once a
translation has been processed, the bug closed, I can mark that file
finished in my database, so if it's "still" in the Update section on
the status page, i'll know then that it needs updating again, iff the
status pages are dynamically connected to bugs being closed, so there
isn't enough time between the two events for the information to
become confused again...
I keep thinking, "There _must_ be an easier way..." :S
