They don't notice the discussion because no one has taken it there.  I'm
not sure why we're even still discussing this here since not a single
email has been sent to http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/trans/ wrt
Zanata.  It's not free for us to just hand over resources that could be
better planned.  So I suggest again, start with the translators.  If
someone on the infrastructure team is willing to sponsor it I'm sure
they'll speak up but it'd be a much better sell if the translation team
actually got together and said "sure, lets take a look"
