[Xfce-i18n] Considering moving to transifex.com

[Rafael Ferreira]

Translators,

For what is worth, here is a URL to a small shell script (in a paste) that
I made to automatize PO files verification. Requires wget, diff, tar. You
need to set your language code in it (e.g.: lang=pt_BR). The output is
'stuff_i_should_fix.txt'. Enjoy.

Cheers,
Rafael Ferreira

> 1) The transifex guys were kind enough to allow me creating hub

> modules below this. The layout I'm considering is to avoid the high
> amount of small 'goodie' projects who only maintain a master branch.

> This means it will look like this:
>
> Xfce (hub project to maintain translation teams)
> |- Thunar (project)
> |   |- master (resource)
> |   |- xfce-4-10 (resource)
> |- Xfce4-panel (project)
> |   |- master (resource)
> |   |- xfce-4-10 (resource)
> |- < all core projects as real projects with resources for branches>
> |- Panel Plugins (project)
> |   |- xfce4-eyes-plugin (resource)
> |   |- xfce4-netload-plugin (resource)
> |   |- xfce4-time-out-plugin (resource)
> |   |- xfce4-weather-plugin (resource)
> |   |- ....
> |- Apps (project)
> |   |- Xfce4-terminal (resource)
> |   |- Midori (resource)
> |   |- ....
> |- Thunar Plugins (project)
> |   |- ....

> Down sides:
> - The plugins/apps visually only maintain the master branch. We could

> required atm (but possible).
> - The stats of those appear in the hub project, not really nice, but
> not a huge issue I think.

> Upsides:
> - Less projects (else we would end up with ~85 projects, which would
> be 1,5% of all the projects on transifex.com
> - All the teams are handles from 1 place
> - You can see all the Xfce-related stats in a single place.

> You can see the result at https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/xfce/

> 2) There are also issues, currently the one stopping are the web-hooks
> that are partly working. These should be triggered when a translation
> is updated so our servers can merge it upstream. Without this we need
> to poll each language which probably takes a couple of days each round
> ;-), so this needs to work reliably. Already contacted the transifex
> guys about this.

> 3) Will lower the translation level to 50%, are requested.

> 4) No I'm not going to tell each person individually what the problems
> are with their translations. After I pushed the translations I'll make
> a list which files failed and each of you can fix the problem and
> upload it manually (not a lot of work if everyone does its part).
