Which requires the coordinator to validate the request. The main point of this part is to have the coordinator only focus on validation process in Zanata, without having to pay attention to this cvsl10n technical group. Anyway, I'm not sure to agree with the assumption that adding anyone might e "quick way to ruin the quality of translations" (here Inmean: outside of Zanata). Many translation platform are self managed with automatic validation, and it's not a problem because the tool provides content inclusion validation process or notifications about what changed. Examples: * Mozilla's pontoon let new user to suggest new translation, but only language team members can validate content. Same behaviour than git. * hosted.weblate.org has no translation team, everyone can come and translate but you can register to get email when someone does suggest/translate/edit/join and provide you a shortcut to review 25 random strings for proofreading. Same behavior than wikipedia. -- Jean-Baptiste Holcroft _______________________________________________ trans mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
