So the hope as far as i18n.redhat.com goes (and I call it a hope  
because I dare not call it a plan) is to move those pieces of  
infrastructure over to the Fedora infrastructure. (There are also  
general CVS modules on the box that need to be moved over...)

Unfortunately, it's just having a really hard time getting action  
from the right people internally. I can help with some of it, but I  
do not understand exactly how the site works and what pieces need to  
be moved over. Integrating those pieces with the account system is  
one big task remaining to be done.

I suppose once it is moved over, this gatewaying/integration might be  
easier. If you were to create, say, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ 
Infrastructure/Translation, and put on it your precise definition of  
"gateway or integration", and an explanation of what apps are  
actually running on i18n.redhat.com at present, I think that'd go a  
long way to nudging things another step forward :)
