Locking? A suggestion based mechanism? (Not sure pootle have developed
that yet).

I'm sure there are a lot of other issues surrounding pootle and web
translation in general. That's where a test-drive will come handy. The
issues will be discovered by trial. We might end up fixing a lot of
them ourselves or altering our translation process to avoid the rough
edges.

That was also suggested in the thread. Chahibi noted that pootle et al
are not mature enough to handle dicsussions/suggestions effectively.
Personally, I believe we need a Wiki, a MediaWiki instance will serve
right as temporary workaround.

I'll colunteer to maintain it if needed, and migrate the old wiki's contents.

Pootle needs dicussions, and a voting system with a clear interface
for admins/maintainers. If they are developed, we're set.
