Agreed. Also, the gnome-i18n module is big enough as it is. It takes a
while to check out, and those translators on a low bandwidth link might
have problems if it gets bigger. We should probably be more restrictive
about what gets added there in the future.

As it is now, we have some language team subdirectories, usually with
only some glossaries and guidelines as content. Perhaps we should leave
it at that. A whole website is probably overkill.

Another alternative is to use Savannah or Sourceforge, as mentioned on
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/teams.html.

I don't think there's any policy. Right now I'm kind of occupied with
other things though, so if you had time to write such a thing I'd
appreciate your help very much.
