That's correct.  I'll share a quick version of the recent history, just in
case people are interested:

<lesson role="history">
For the past several years, Dimitris Glezos and the team at Indifex have
graciously allowed Fedora to use their hosted Transifex service.   Before
that, we had a self-hosted instance of Transifex, but we didn't have enough
volunteer efforts on the Infrastructure team to keep up with maintenance
and upgrades on it, and the decision was made to move to a hosted version
on Transifex.  At the time that decision was made (several years ago, while
I was the Fedora Project Leader), we said we'd be happy to re-evaluate the
decision at some time in the future.  Zanata was not yet even packaged for
Fedora at that time and wasn't really in a production state yet, so using a
hosted Transifex solution was the best option at the time, knowing we could
always go back to running a self-hosted version with the same data, etc.
</lesson>

Isaac, despite the rocky relationship between the Zanata folks and the
Fedora community over the past couple of years, it's refreshing to see you
introduce yourself on the list and express a willingness to work with the
translation and documentation teams.  I hope you feel welcome in the
community and I look forward to interacting with you more.  If I can answer
any questions or be of assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.
