Restricted access to .po files annoys developers

Hello all,

I am not a member of this list and only had time for a quick scan of the
archives, so please forgive me if this issue has already come up.

I am a member of numerous other mailing lists and found this comment,
from the lead developer of a project, on one of them:

"It appears Rosetta does not allow direct and unrestricted download
of .po translation files any longer. I now have to be logged in and
request for a file to be exported and then wait for a mail with a link
to the exported .po file. And that for each single language. Can't say
this doesn't make me angry.

Sadly this makes it no longer viable for me to use Rosetta as platform
for translations for Thoggen. Oh well, I guess it was good while it
lasted. Shame really, since the platform as such is exciting.

I will still try to sync the translations from Rosetta one last time
though.

Not sure how to handle translations in future. Suggestions?"

Just thought that I would alert you to the effect of the changes and ask
whether there were plans to remedy his concerns.

Please CC me in to replies.

Regards,
Aaron
