Docs translations

[Dimitris Glezos]

Hey all.

Today we had a lengthy discussion on IRC about the way we should handle
translations in Fedora. The plan is basically to move applications (and their PO
files) that are being developed on elvis (a RH server)  over to
'cvs.fedoraproject.org'. It seems that this will not happen before the F7 release.

We have already created a CVS group 'cvsl10n' and all translators will be asked
to open Fedora accounts and will be added to this group.

As a Docs project, we have the choice *not* to wait for F7 and migrate the
translation process right away. The 'fp.org -> i18n -> fp' process for PO files
is tedious for quaid and stickster. This means that translations for Docs will
happen in the Docs repository, which is much easier for translators (as long as
they have a Fedora account).

If there is no objection, we can apply the 'cvsl10n' ACLs on the po directory
right away and test the translator's access. The L10n team will try its best to
make sure we get as much translations as possible, even if our po files will be
hosted on a different SCM than the rest of the Fedora apps.

Comments?
