Re: [Scrollkeeper-devel] Czech translation of scrollkeeper

Malcolm,

Good point.  I think this is the first ScrollKeeper CVS account for a 
translater, but then we also get translations emailed to us.  So, there is 
still a possibility of a collision.  Plus, even with a single CVS system, 
two people could still check out and translate at the same time.

How about we let people use either GNOME or SourceForge CVS as they like
(perhaps encouraging people to use GNOME CVS), or even just email the
translations.  However, they should always make sure they start with the
.po file out of one of the two CVS systems (ie. not from a release).  
Then, anybody who commits a .po file to CVS make sure they add the same
.po file to both CVS accounts.  

This makes more work for people who work with CVS, but makes things
simpler for translators and allows people to still use gnome-extra, which
means we get a lot more translations done than if we just used
SourceForge.

Or is there a simpler way?
