I prefer using single system, subversion is highly preferred. In my 
opinion, cross SCM should be handled on the server side, where it is 
more accessible to administrators, and less problem to the translators.

I'm sure there is a way to cross import various SCM repository to 
subversion. If not, then the next logical, forward thinking way is to 
have a standard way to store SCM data, so that it is accessible to 
various SCM out there.

Yes, and no.

Yes, if it can help improve the participation of new translators.

No, because I prefer doing it the current way, by updating the source 
via CVS, translating it, then committing it to the repository.

Web application is not a blanket solution to all problem.
