Hello.
We tried once (the Arabic team) to use Pootle and it was really a bad idea.
Many and many of commits (with Pontoon it's even worse), working around
version control bugs by having each file modified, no control over quality,
no context when searching (there is but it's not sufficient), bad
performance, etc.
But I support using something like Gnome's Damend Lies. The SVN-only is not
that much user-friendly for everyone.

Regards,
Safa
