What would a translator need to do to get one of ours Docs and
generate statistics himself? Could we have this documented somewhere
(eg. the TQSG or FAQ)? Necessary git commands would also help a lot.

A page updated daily with docs stats could do the trick until Publican
support can be added inside DL and the Toolkit.

Since it's just 7 modules I guess we could start simple and avoid
Fedora-hosted crons and Infra (they already have a lot on their
minds). Someone of us could cron on his workstation and rsync the
HTMLs on his fedorapeople page.

Ideally no spamming at all. :-) The information will be in one place
for anyone who'd like to see it.

Thanks for looking into this Asgeir.
