Actually, Russian team would like to have a MySQL plugin for KBabel,
it will be quite useful for many things, including online translation
database with web interface. With this plugin it will be also easy to
look up translations into different languages for a message string,
that can be quite useful for many teams.

Our members don't suffer from lack of hard drive space or ability to
set up MySQL server and run an SQL script to install a database. MySQL
is pretty easy to use, and there are many excellent tools to
administer it, like phpmyadmin etc...

What Adrian is right, that we can't expect this ability from all of
our teams and translators, so there should be options to do what they
find comfortable for themselves.
