Actually, assuming that "properties files" actually mean "Java 
.properties", there's no need to convert anything. Pootle supports 
.properties files internally. And in this case, filename.properties will 
act as a template for filename_locale.properties files.

I would probably suggest that all extensions would be stored in a subdir 
(of extensions/?) so that we don't end up with a really big amount of 
projects visible on Pootle's frontpage. On the other hand, it's probably 
not desired to have them all as one big project (so that e.g. updating 
from templates would update all extensions at once). Note to self: 
investigate available options.
