Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Installing B-Translator

Dashohoxha,

You might want to talk to the folks at Pootle if you haven't done so
in a while.  They are in the process of adding commenting and
discussion features to Pootle (even as we speak).

You should drop in on their IRC channel and talk to them about it.
They might be interested in your ideas and you might get a tighter
integration than you had ever imagined, by actually providing input to
their current work.

irc://freenode/pootle

Or reach out the the Pootle devel list

http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/developers/mailing_lists

I think it may be a better approach to getting your ideas put into
production than forking your own system.  just something to consider.
