I was more hoping we'd have the actual content on the appropriate module
page at translate.fedoraproject.org.  Are those pages too dynamic, or
can we insert XHTML specific to a module?  I'm thinking specifically of
an <iframe> or similar construct to pull in a specific cron-job output.

If that is not sanely doable, maybe a really big and obvious link on
each of the modules page?

My goal is to be able to have Translators reliably hit one URL or family
of URLs for their status/updates/submitting.  We can continue to switch
out the under parts of translate.fedoraproject.org, as long as the REST
URLs can stay the same.  Does that make sense as a goal for F10 docs
l10n from where we are today?

Let's figure out what we need to make it a full part of the
Infrastructure and ask what we can do.

From a bash viewpoint, and mine is very poor fwiw, it looks sane to me.

From a publican view, presuming 'make update-po-all' does what you say
it does ('adding PO dir and POs for each language'), then it also looks
sane to me.

I'd say, "No time like the present, pull the do-it trigger," etc., but
I'll poke Paul to take a quick look just before you go ahead.

Thanks for the effort, it did make it clear and helped my
understanding. :)
