A bunch of ideas

Hi. Below follow some ideas for improving Rosetta collected in a Wiki and
others of my own. Some are important, others, not really...

1.Rosetta must give CLEAR indication of which package comes from main /
universe / others

2. Translators should be allowed to subscribe to changes in the given template
(bugzilla like). It happens sometimes that a few strings are changed upstream,
the translation is reused, but the translator doesn't notice that it's
necessary to take a little bit of action to translate those few strings that
changed. I think this a very important enchancement.
   
3. Translators should be allowed to subscribe to changes in a given translation
made by others. (different from 2!!)
   
4. Any new application that is added to main, at least ubuntu ones, needs to be
announced to ubuntu-translators and have support for translation! Look what
happened with SMEG in breezy:-(
   
5. Allow the team administrator to define that a package translation is
completed and therefore no one can translate anymore unless directly allowed by
the administrator.
   
6. Allow the team administrator do define that a given package needs a REVIEW
process. A REVIEW TEAM OF A GIVEN NUMBER OF ELEMENTS will then review the
translations (the reviewers can mark the strings that are reviewed) and only
when the review is completed the 100% status will appear.
   
7. Please indicate explicitly if a given translation is being uploaded upstream
or not.
   
8. What about having a guy on IRC #ubuntu-devel or #launchpad or a new
#ubuntu-translators, whose only function is to listen do translators various
problems, which can be related to packages not having translation support,
certain strings that can't be translated, etc. This guy would then take care of
talking to developers, mantainers, etc. to help solve the problems.
   
9. Include a "search" functionality in a single POT file and a "search"
funcionality in all the POT files of a given language.
  
10. Allow for a search on the accepted translations of a given word or
sentence. For example, I don't remember how to translate the word "Dictionary".
I use the search box and previous translations of this word are shown, if any.
(Something like the suggestions shown nowadays below the translation box).

Hope this is somehow helpful. 

Cheers,

WaterSevenUb and some ubuntu-pt folks
