Hi Ludo,
I have mentioned your work on #launchpad at irc.freenode.net and the launchpad team is interested in helping out. I have an "appointment" to talk to danilos in about 2h so if you or Vincent are interested maybe that would be a good opportunity to learn more. I will report back otherwise.
Some of the things you may want to think about:
- There is actually already an xwiki project in launchpad that I created a long while back, danilos suggested that translation should go through there
Let's use that one instead of the one I created.
- There is a way to group projects together in launchpad which would take care of translations for the different components, applications etc - There is an api initiative, currently in beta, which could provide an elegant way of meeting all of your requirements through mixing a launchpad backend with a lightweight xwiki app. The api could help out in automating SVN sync although it currently doesn't focus on translation features but maybe its not too hard to put some features like that on the roadmap.
I'll check the API. We need to have sufficient access the export that data programmatically if we want to import the english versions easily and gather back the translations result easily.
To my knowledge launchpad is going to be released as open source, but is not there yet.
That could be a showstopper if we want to make sure we keep control.

Hi team,
I wrore a report about the different localization strategies we could have for XWiki comparing:
- a simple tool Jean-Vincent wrote - an L10N app I started to build - using launchpad.net
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Selecting+a+tool+for+managing+Loc...
Please review and add requirements if you see requirements that have not been listed. I think we need to look at the applications and evaluate them in more details, especially to see of launchpad.net could work for us.
Let's discuss.
Ludovic
