The Infrastructure team had known for a while that there were problems with the Fedora-local instance of Transifex, and members of the Fedora translator community were complaining about lack of needed functionality. It was proposed that since the current local transifex instance was not a viable solution for providing translations for Fedora 15, that we consider a move to the hosted tx.net offering (this was also the recommendation from the transifex upstream, who offered to provide this to us at no financial cost). This solution was presented to the Fedora translation community for consideration (albeit, with not a whole lot of time to decide), and they decided that was a good plan for F15, with the understanding that we can (and probably will) revisit this after Fedora 15 is done. Can we please put this sort of "pre-made decision" or "decision by fiat" stuff to rest now? There is no attempt to cover anything up, just Fedora Infrastructure trying to identify and deploy a solution that would enable Fedora's translators to complete their work for Fedora 15. ~tom == Fedora Project -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
