We talked about moving to translationsproject.org but decided against it at that time as the current pool of translators for Git felt the dictionary involved was too technical (and too Git specific) for the run-of-the-mill translators who work through translationsproject.org. At least some knowledge of Git is required to get a good translation, and we cannot except all translators to have that. So translation work is still here, on this mailing list. -- Shawn.
