Some fedora projects are still not using transifex (properly)

Thanks for letting us known, I'll ask for this project to be removed
from transifex.net.
The problem that I see is that the translators that have spent time
translating it has just seen their project removed, and an other guy is
able to continue translating. While some translators are expert, some
other just don't take enough time to get quality. I would have been
really desapointed in that case.

The translationproject.org is great, but you have one to many files
assigned to one translators (and not one to many translators in one
file), and you NEED to sign the Disclaimer with the FSF… 
I am still waiting for them to let me translate… If the make project
would have been in transifex, I would have corrected (lot of) typo by
December. I still not have acces while the assigned translator is not
responding.

Yes I understand. You could probably ship pos without tracking them on
the history as other projects do (yum I think).

Hope to see the authentification removed soon (yeah your ticket is old
now…). 

As always, there is no perfect tool/setup, thanks for telling us.
