Martin, I and Clytie are subscribed to the Pootle development mailing list
(translate-pootle@lists.sourceforge.net).
Pootle is a project from the translate.org people (translate-devel
project on Sourceforge, from memory).
This is basically a web interface system to translation (the
translations themselves being based on Portable Object format).
As far as I know, noone is working on packaging it, but indeed I
intended to develop on this in our d-i paper and talk at Debconf (the
part I wrote in the d-i paper about i18n is.....*cough*...rather
large).
Pootle is rather similar to Ubuntu's Rosetta. However, it being based
on completely DFSG-free tools makes it better suited for Debian than
Rosetta (sorry, Ubuntu people).
Many FLOSS projects are thinking about adopting it and setup a Pootle
server either for the project (Gnome, Oo...) or the a translation team
(the Basque translation team has one, IIRC...Clytie uses
pootle.wordforge.org for Vietnamese translations....).
Finding someone in the -i18n people who would like to have a deep loog
at Pootle and try packaging it, with the intent of using it on Debian
servers would be a killer, yes. This needs some knowledge of Python
things probably (but NO Python coding skills) and interaction with the
Pootle upstream developers (who are VERY VERY VERY cooperative
people).
Pootle could certainly come as a nice interface to the DDTP and, more
generally to several Debian l10n projects (and why not the WWW
translations if we manager to use PO for them as well).
