I'm very happy to announce that we've now landed support for translation statistics in Transifex.
Lately we've been working heavily in re-writing Transifex and getting v0.5 in the best shape possible for Fedora 11. Being 3 weeks ahead of the string freeze, we have plenty of time to test statistics on Transifex 0.5-devel.
For Fedora 11, my plan is to switch the old DL for Tx 0.5-devel for statistics, and continue to use the proven Tx 0.3 for submissions. I've requested [1] a publictest instance from the Infrastructure Group to install it and start putting data and testing it.
[1]: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1191
To allow 2 weeks of testing, the instance should be ready by 23/2. When we see that everything works out as it should, we can discontinue the old DL.
Our goal with Transifex 0.5 is to include support for both submissions and statistics, and this way we can put aside our old version of Damned Lies which is presenting outdated translations. Since only the commits are missing from Tx 0.5-final, it'll be out in 3-4 weeks, and at that point we go on and test submissions too, while having Tx 0.3 as a backup solution.
Some of the advantages of this approach is that using the statistics from Tx 0.5-devel does not even require hook-up with FAS (only submissions require authentication), we have a smoother upgrade path for Django/v0.5 and we have a codebase we know inside-out to build/invest on.
On our roadmap post v0.5:
- 0.5: Submissions to email,VCSs, probably bugzilla - Comments everywhere - Full API - Integration with Bugzilla eg. for auto-closing of bugs - Workflow functionality (lock a file, resolve bugs, request translation review and others, comments) - Fine-grained permissions on a per collection, release, projects, component, language and file basis - Support for people Teams and user groups - Support for additional i18n formats (mozilla)
Comments, suggestions?

SO you want two different transifex's deployed at the same time both at translate.fedoraproject.org or did you want to have a test instance up somewhere for 2 weeks?

We could use a test instance to bring things to shape. If we are solid, we can move into production and have both versions at translate.fpo.
