As was noted on IRC, the best means to go about this is to upload .PO[T]
files to Arabeyes' CVS repository under the 'debian' tree.  In short,
we'll need a "wml2po" and a "po2wml" scripts so that our various busy
and overworked translators don't have to deal with syntax issues and
can continue concentrating at the work in-hand (there is no need for
them to weed their way through various unnecessary formats).  For the
record, "wml" is the format that those translatable debian websites
are maintained in.

Mr. M.Trojette, you had noted that you'll look into this ASAP in order
to get .POT files generated and uploaded.

Just documenting our "personal" exchange :-)

Thanks & Salam.
