What would you said of these user stories, related to what features 
should provide asynchronous interaction:


As a translator, I'm able to upload my translation files, so that 
contributing with limited internet access is possible.

As a translator, I'm able to interact with comments made inside the 
translation platform with an email client, so that contributing with 
limited internet access is possible.

   That means like a github or pagure issue, when you get a 
notification, you can answer directly with email.


As a translator, I'm able to interact with a mailing-list from the 
translation platform so that interaction issues with limited internet 
access contributors are limited.


When you speaks "less dependent on those internet giants' codes or 
services", do you have privacy requirements in mind?

I think should allow anonymous contributions, 2019 is the International 
Year for Indigenous Languages https://iyil2019.org, and contributing 
with a real name to some may fear some people. Does it makes sense?

Here are my proposition:

As an internet user, I'm able to register to the Fedora project and 
directly contribute translation without having to leave the Fedora 
Localization Platform so that project onboarding is painless and doesn't 
requires coordinator action.

True, we certainly need people who understand the diversity of languages 
to manage our tools and community. And governance needs to be open and 
community's opinion should be solicited.
