   I am for a split. Status information would be better to have on separate  
page. It is "just" a statistics and makes the page too long.

> - obsfucate mails in contacts ?

   Yes, any spam prevention is good prevention. There can still be a  
message above and bellow the list of translations/translators to "send a  
mail to inkscape-translators list if you cannot contact latest translator  
of your language version"

  Since there are no stats for translations of tutorials/documentation I  
suggest to append other translators to the corresponding language with a  
note(like "tutorials", "GUI",...) if it is known what they translated.

  Tutorial translations - There is a step to send translated xml/docbook  
files to Bulia Byak, but he is no longer "responsible" for this, it is  
ScislaC(Joshua Andler) now. I do not know if ScislaC would like to be  
mentioned there as a person who is now "responsible" for that. Maybe  
better would be to replace the "Send the file to buliabyak at ..... , and  
I'll convert it to SVG and HTML and upload it to CVS and the web site."  
part with text telling translator to send the xml of tutorial to the patch  
tracker and assign it to him.

  CVS -> SVN - any mention of CVS should be changed to SVN.

I wil try to recover my wiki login and help on this page.

As a general rule, it may be better to encourage people to send to the
patch tracker instead of directly to ScislaC; this way, if the person
responsible changes (or more than one person start to handle them), then
the documentation does not need to be altered.

As for ScisclaC responsible of tutorials, I've updated it this
afternoon.

Xavier Conde Rueda has also brought some very nice updates.
Feel free to do the same.


I'll split the status and enrich it with=20
- po status
- tutorial status

I'll also add
- a 'news on the web site' translation topic tonight, but will need some
help to write about this process.
- a verification step (msgfmt -cv  yourtranslation.po + check-markup
yourtranslation.po) in the po file process

Suggestion : simply indicate how to find name of last translator in the
po files

different categories

I've updated how to translate web site part. There are some "weak" places  
in this part I have to reformulate or complete but it contains pretty all  
information (except required step of running  publish_web.sh script) I  
know and that could be usefull.
