Transifex has become proprietary

[Marcelo Barbosa]

Zoltan,

I believe we can do some tests with the Zanata in order to validate the
tool and look for little impact as possible. I came in with my account at
FAS and I realized the error quoted here on the list, after adopting my FAS
been redirected to this address:

https://translate.zanata.org/zanata/openid.seam?openid.assoc_handle=%7BHMAC-SHA256%7D%7B53bea908%7D%7Bb9D6PQ%3D%3D%7D&openid.ax.count.email=1&openid.ax.mode=fetch_response&openid.ax.type.email=http%3A%2F%2Fschema.openid.net%2Fcontact%2Femail&openid.ax.value.email.1=firemanxbr%40fedoraproject.org&openid.claimed_id=http%3A%2F%2Ffiremanxbr.id.fedoraproject.org%2F&openid.identity=http%3A%2F%2Ffiremanxbr.id.fedoraproject.org%2F&openid.mode=id_res&openid.ns=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0&openid.ns.ax=http%3A%2F%2Fopenid.net%2Fsrv%2Fax%2F1.0&openid.ns.pape=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fextensions%2Fpape%2F1.0&openid.ns.sreg=http%3A%2F%2Fopenid.net%2Fextensions%2Fsreg%2F1.1&openid.op_endpoint=https%3A%2F%2Fid.fedoraproject.org%2Fopenid%2F&openid.pape.auth_level.nist=2&openid.pape.auth_level.ns.nist=http%3A%2F%2Fcsrc.nist.gov%2Fpublications%2Fnistpubs%2F800-63%2FSP800-63V1_0_2.pdf&openid.pape.auth_policies=http%3A%2F%2Fschemas.openid.net%2Fpape%2Fpolicies%2F2007%2F06%2Fnone&openid.pape.auth_time=2014-07-10T14%3A54%3A08Z&openid.response_nonce=2014-07-10T14%3A54%3A12ZPpl7Yi&openid.return_to=https%3A%2F%2Ftranslate.zanata.org%2Fzanata%2Fopenid.seam&openid.sig=q%2FSWk8t084n%2FQA62EI4Zel76CXdQsXJxFNFoxtmYdZ8%3D&openid.signed=assoc_handle%2Cax.count.email%2Cax.mode%2Cax.type.email%2Cax.value.email.1%2Cclaimed_id%2Cidentity%2Cmode%2Cns%2Cns.ax%2Cns.pape%2Cns.sreg%2Cop_endpoint%2Cpape.auth_level.nist%2Cpape.auth_level.ns.nist%2Cpape.auth_policies%2Cpape.auth_time%2Cresponse_nonce%2Creturn_to%2Csigned

I solved this problem by returning to the starting address:
https://translate.zanata.org/zanata/, then I believe that we need to adjust
this issue to continue the tests.
After move a project, for example (
https://fedora.transifex.com/organization/fedora/dashboard/chkconfig) for
the Zanata, creating a Group Fedora and placing this first project within
this group, it would be interesting to have the same hierarchy already used
in Transifex: Coordinators, reviewers and translators, this process seems
to be good to avoid errors. Can you help us with these steps?

Thanks,
