Transifex has become proprietary

Hi All,
One option we have is to create a Role within Zanata and restrict access to all Fedora projects to users of that Role only. This would guarantee that only users members of that role would be able to translate the 'Fedora' projects and only for their assigned languages.
We currently have something like that set up on the public Zanata instance (translate.zanata.org) where anyone with a fedora account gets automatically assigned to the 'Fedora' role and is able to translate projects restricted to that role.
Let me know if we need to discuss this further.
Regards,
Carlos A. Munoz

Agree, our default is wiki.

I am not too sure if the group in zanata works as it has been working at
transifex. Here we need an input from zanata team, Luke, Carlos?
afaik, currently zanata has only one set of language teams.
Thus translator belonging to xx-XX can translate any file for xx-XX of
any project registered. Please correct me if I am misunderstanding.
* Zanata/Language Team/xx-XX
We may need separate set of language teams to control access, since
there are other projects which is not part of Fedora.
This restricts translator who is not belonging to particular umbrella
(group, org, whatever called) from translating file(s) of that umbrella.
* Zanata/Fedora/Language Team/xx-XX
* Zanata/Project_Name/Language Team/xx-XX
Transifex has had this feature. Thus there is no need to worry that
non-member of xx-XX of the language team under that umbrella modifies a
file.
* Tx/Fedora/Language Team/xx-XX
* Tx/Transifex/Language Team/xx-XX
* Tx/Project_Name/Language Team/xx-XX
I've requested this feature sometime ago, but unable to locate the
bug... This is the one listed under 'Concerns'.
Btw, unless Infrastructure team needs to track this discussion for some
maintenance reason, can we discuss at trans list only as many of
translators have not subscribed infrastructure list?
