I think you are on the path to something here but bundling all together
in ONE system is not going to help very much. Not as a start. It's a
project too large and to hard to get anything done.
Identify the major problems and deal with them and try to make similar
workflows and easy to grasp workflows (being different from one another
is all right).
With regards to DDTSS/DDTP I think there must be something done in the
foreseeable future. As far as I can tell there are unacceptable
maintenance tasks that rely on some individuals. And adding that the
system in some cases breaks so bad that some translation efforts are
lost (or did I get that impression wrong?) is devastating for the moral
of translators.
I haven't really worked with this (partly because when I did read some
of the documents it was a too steep learning curve. Might have been
solved since it was years ago) but doing work here is something I have
seen as a must. If I just had the time to volunteer... but with help?
