This decision has greatly saddened and disappointed me. With all respect to Dmitris and his team, to me, it seems like Fedora is giving up a key part of our infrastructure and our independence. Therefore, I have obtained permission from my manager to put time and resources into packaging Transifex 1.1 for fedoraproject.org. I have also had the time and skills of two Red Hat sysadmins allocated to get Fedora's own instance of Transifex upgraded and migrated ASAP. I believe that if the Fedora Localization Project is open to the idea, we could have an up-to-date and fully functional local instance of Transifex 1.1 available within a week. Does this seem acceptable? I also want to take this opportunity to thank Dmitris for his extremely generous offer to host this massive project on behalf of Fedora. However, apart from the reasons I gave earlier, I also can't help but feel that this direction would be grossly unfair on Dmitris and his business. Indifex is, after all, a commercial venture, and server resources and bandwidth aren't free of charge -- especially on the scale contemplated for Fedora. Just before I came to work for Red Hat, I owned a small IT business myself, and know that every penny counts! :) Cheers Rudi -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
