Re: Let's move to ddtp.debian.org - mail interface
Hi Martin and others
Danish doesn't use the mail interface. Even trivial changes are made through the review process.

Please don't
skip the mail interface. It is very helpful for
understaffed "teams" like the german
one (basically me).
I
don't use the mail interface to get new work to
translate. I use it
for trivial changes in
my point of view.
Over all,
i think that the mail interface is a powerful tool, but
dangerous as well. $(random contributor) has
direct access without
review. Perhaps the
access to it should be coupled to a DDTP account.
A nice feature before the move
to ddtp2.debian.net was the automatic
answer to submissions. It showed errors in the
files submitted and
contained a direct link
to the new database entry. At present one has to
open the web interface to check whether the
translation made it into the
DB and if the
encoding is ok. According to file(1) I send "UTF-8
Unicode
English text, with very long
lines". Sometimes I forget to change
"Description-de:" to
"Description-de.UTF-8:" and get garbage. The mail
digestion routine relys on this instead of
checking the file type of the
attachment.
Beatrice, Joe, Helix84; Martijn: I'm very
interested in your opinion.
