Re: Needed *updates* for several debconf translations

I'm not sure this is the best tactics..:-)

Of course, in some cases, shit happens and you have to re-update after
just sending an update.

Still, the best way to reach 100%, from my experience, is by following
http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/po-debconf/<language> as closely as
possible and never "accept" having an incomplete thing without any
action (TODO, ITT, RFR, LCFC, BTS) mentioned for it.

For a team, having someone doing such monitoring on a (nearly) daily
basis is also very important. That person can prod others in the team
about needed updates...and often act as a proxy with package
maintainers or NMU'ers.

Javier did that for quite a long time for es l10n team. I see that a
few of you folks are active enough (IMHO) for being able to do such
"job". Could be a good idea to establish this...formally or not (in
the French team, we have nobody formally doing that: it just
happens. Of course that might be related to /me doing part of this for
years now, but still....).

Anyway, thanks for your efforts in Spanish l10n. Your team has always
been one of the strongest and most efficients in Debian and that
deserves kudos.
