Hi Ludo,
I have mentioned your work on #launchpad at irc.freenode.net and the
launchpad team is interested in helping out. I have an "appointment"
to talk to danilos in about 2h so if you or Vincent are interested
maybe that would be a good opportunity to learn more. I will report
back otherwise.
Some of the things you may want to think about:
- There is actually already an xwiki project in launchpad that I
created a long while back, danilos suggested that translation should
go through there
https://edge.launchpad.net/xwiki
Let's use that one instead of the one I created.
- There is a way to group projects together in
launchpad which would
take care of translations for the different components, applications
etc
- There is an api initiative, currently in beta, which could provide
an elegant way of meeting all of your requirements through mixing a
launchpad backend with a lightweight xwiki app. The api could help
out in automating SVN sync although it currently doesn't focus on
translation features but maybe its not too hard to put some features
like that on the roadmap.
https://help.launchpad.net/API
I'll check the API. We need to have sufficient access the export that
data programmatically if we want to import the english versions easily
and gather back the translations result easily.
To my knowledge launchpad is going to be released as
open source, but
is not there yet.
That could be a showstopper if we want to make sure we keep control.

Hi team,
I wrore a report about the different localization strategies we could have
for XWiki comparing:
- a simple tool Jean-Vincent wrote
- an L10N app I started to build
- using launchpad.net
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Selecting+a+tool+for+managing+Lo…
Please review and add requirements if you see requirements that have not
been listed. I think we need to look at the applications and evaluate them
in more details, especially to see of launchpad.net could work for us.
Let's discuss.
Ludovic
