Hello,<br>
Just a small heads-up - we are tentatively going to upgrade to Pootle<br>
2.0 at the end of this week. I don't have a fixed date and time yet (I<br>
just uncovered a problem with Pootle's symlink handling which causes<br>
issues with our entire git<-->pootle workflow), however, I do expect a<br>
downtime of around 24 hours (since the metadata and indexing data<br>
associated with each PO file need to be refreshed as a part of the<br>
migration process).<br>
I will keep this list posted on how things go<br>
Thank you,<br>
Sayamindu<br>

To get a sense of what the Pootle 2.0 interface will look like, you can
look at the Pootle server where Pootle itself is localized.<br>

Those of you who may have been following along on Pootle users list
will know that Pootle 2.0 is truly a major revision of this tool. It
still uses the Translate Toolkit, but the web-serving elements have
been completely re-based on Django. While the actual string
translation interface is prettier, it is still fairly familiar looking,
so there should not be much of a re-learning curve for localizers. The
re-basing on Django is said to improve the ability to perform
administrative tasks via the web-interface, including better account
and password management. which would be a win for both admins and
users. I'm looking forward to working with the new version.<br>
