As translator, we just need a running instance. As our current instance is running with issues for at least 1 year, the question is why no discussion between l10n and infra was done before. And I've not seen any request on the trans mailing list to joining the infra... Translators just need to translate efficiently. This could not be done with the current instance for every projects. The move to txn appears to not be complete (I've at least seen 3 bug reports) but should not take too long. Having more people joining/helping the infra for a week is really great. The most important is to see with the infra how could we handle the transifex instance in a long term, but you, Ruediger, told us that this should not be a problem, thanks! (Guarantee should be discussed with the infra team). Therefor, as a l10n member, the most important is to have a working workflow. Having fas auth is great, but not mandatory. As a Fedora Project contributor, Fedora running its own instance is better as we have a strong community who do great job. Having the power to decide is better that choosing an alternate solution because we don't have the power. In an other hand, running our own instance would help Indifex in two ways. First, we won't use their bandwith as told before, and secondly, we would be an example of their product reuse. Having our Open Source software reused is one of the Freedom goal. Anyway, thanks for the proposal, and thanks to people working on the txn move. We have taken a decision last week... If we want to change our mind, we should do it quickly but this really concern the infra team.
