Internationalisation Collaboration Server. Jaldhar H. Vyas [5]asked
if it would be possible to set up a central website for coordinating
translation efforts within Debian. He suggested several tools which
were working like Ubuntu's proprietary Rosetta tool. Margarita
Manterola [6]added that such a website would encourage a lot of
people to contribute to Debian who were unable to do so with the
existing translation tools.

(thanks DWN for pointing this: as I don't read -project, I missed this
thread)

Well, this topic is a recurrent topic on -i18n, Jaldhar.

Actually, this is the goal I have for the i18n meeting in Extremadura
(http://wiki.debian.org/WorkSessionExtremadura2006i18n): either do
some initial work on setting up some early infrastructure or at the
minimum work on the requisites for it.

Discussions at Debconf, during, or after, the round table Javier
Fernàndez-Sanguino and I will present/animate....will also help
converging on the requirements for an i18n infrastructure.

I suggest that further discussion continues on -i18n which is IMHO its
natural place....or stays crossposted but, please, keep -i18n CC'ed...
