If someone does, I'd really like to have them posted somewhere, since
we're getting this Q a lot of times. =)

In the past I tried to collect some of them here:

One feature not mentioned is with a couple of clicks anyone can
register his own open source project on www.transifex.net and maintain
his own project's translation teams.

Pootle is a great tool and has had success with a lot of software
projects. It has also showed the way to more modern tools like
Transifex on how open translation tools should look like. Having said
that, I believe Pootle and Transifex try to solve different problems,
and when there is an overlap, the solution is done in different ways.
