This sounds interesting.  I know that for my vision of GNOME Journal I
wanted to have translated articles so that we aren't just stuck with a

alternative short of a xslt/xmlpo/makefile system that makes it hard for
other people to learn.

Well, Midgard should be quite a bit easier than that :-)

Well, yes, but it fits into the model that il8n people are doing using POT 
files.  

While gnome.org is now going to Plone, you can still watch a site
being migrated to Midgard in the Maemo community:

Cool!

There we do the migration process in an open way, maintaining
conversion scripts and layout templates in a public SVN repository.

This one might be interesting for the GNOME community also because
we're migrating content areas managed by several apps gnome.org uses
like MoinMoin and GTKdoc to Midgard.

I'll definitely be checking that out.  If it has the right stuff I will
ask to see if GNOME Journal might be interested in it.

I know
for about two years or so you've been doing some GNOME integration with
Midgard.  What kind of stuff have you been doing?  I find that part very
interesting, especially if we can manage our web pages using desktop
technology.

For now most of the integration is on infrastructural level. Every
content object in Midgard is a GObject, we do database accesses via
libgda (in the new 1.9 branch) etc. Once the libgda stuff has been
done the next plan is to refactor Midgard's event notification
("article was changed" etc) to utilize DBUS.

This sounds very interesting.  Not to cause undue traffic in marketing-list
perhaps you might be willing to help write an article on Midgard and it's
infrastructure.  We can talk offline about it.

There is also a Midgard object browser that has been written as a
GNOME app by Piotr Pokora:

Good stuff!  What would be neat is to have a GNOME client and then have
people be able to check out content to translate or to write articles.  
That would be really awesome.

I think you're the only guys actually using GNOME internally right?

Thanks Henri for all your hard work, it's appreciated.
