Since it seems natural that many translators wish for the capability of building for proofreading purpose, this will be must to include. Or, when committed, some mechanism automatically builds them and publishes somewhere as draft, translators may not need to have git installed for proofreading purpose. > > I think a default action for someone who is stuck in any way is to open > a Trac ticket. Good idea. This can be added L10N FAQ later. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/FAQ > >>> 3.
