I'd like to mention one issue about extragear files in stable. In our 
translator group we are quite dependent on our own database to assign 
responsibilities to files (who has to/can translate what). Our system is 
designed such as to point even the most clueless translator to the correct 
file in WebSVN, to avoid problems related to technical misunderstandings (if 
we were to expect every translator to be confident with SVN, we would not 
have that many).

However, until now we have been working only with branches applied to entire 
packages (kdeadmin, kdeutils...), and our system has been built around that. 
Following two branching subjects (main kde packages and koffice) is easy, but 
following each extragear file is probably going to be error-prone.

I was therefore wondering whether you could cram in the stable branching of 
extragear some sort of machine-readable way of finding out whether an 
extragear file is in stable or in trunk. For instance, a simple text file 
(say, "extragear-stable") to be left on the Internet, or even better in 
Subversion itself, possibly maintained directly by the extragear group, 
containing a simple list of which files are to be considered in stable 
branch.

extragear-stable
-------------------------------------
messages/extragear-office/kile.po
docmessages/extragear-office/kile.po
messages/extragear-graphics/kst.po
(etc.)

In practice what we would need would be a simple way to find out what we have 
to translate in the extragear.

Cheers,
-Federico
