Transifex has become proprietary

[Zoltan Hoppar]

I think Zanata can be a good solution for us, and at the end we can
receive a much more tightened, seamlessly integrated solution with our
infra, and fedmsg, and other tech stuff. My question is that how hard
would be the migration? How can we help?

Thanks,

Zoltan
