all system-config-* modules of mine as well as hwbrowser were moved from
CVS on elvis/rhlinux to Mercurial repositories on
hosted.fedoraproject.org. This is not to annoy or confuse you, the
translators but part of a "bigger" plan to move wholesale to Fedora
infrastructure, not only for my packages but for all where we are
upstream (in the long run), and thus allowing for different source code
management (SCM) systems than CVS. I very much hope that this plan was
outlined in the translators circles as well.

I've moved my stuff sometime in July upon receiving notice of this plan
by Dimitris Glezos (on Cc). Another part of that plan was to move to a
better translation infrastructure where you translators don't need to
know about how to use all the SCM systems used in the various projects
(some still use CVS and I believe you can still commit your changes
directly for those, some use Subversion, some Mercurial (Hg), some git),
but can do the translating with one (web-based) tool ("Transifex") that
would deal with the projects' SCMs in the background. Much to my dismay,
it doesn't seem that we're there yet.

Dim, can you please expand on this, correct my mistakes ;-) and tell us
when we can expect Transifex to be in production?

Thanks,
Nils
