In the translator directory, there is a translator_doc.txt file.
What do you think it contains ? ;-)

Yes we can : we could have a "kartouche" website with various 
translations. That's what I use for french translation, and it's really 
great : I had 4 ppl involved in french translation, that worked through 
a web interface.
There are 2 limits for instance :
1- we need a script to rebuild localized versions through web interface 
(and update the .po file when there is something new in templates.
2- we need a permanent server (for instance, it's hosted on 
bureau.paulpoulain.com, that is switched ON only during daytime in 
france. Not a problem for french translation, but for sure a pb for 
someone from America or Asia ;-) )

MJ/Slef : I hacked a little kartouche to add some features (like a 
"search string option") but could not find the address of kartouche 
developper(s). iirc, you know how it is, am I right ?
