Sure, we've gone from some undefined point in the future when
sourceforge et al vanished to June 2009, which is a big improvement,
but it *is* not free software and I'll accept it as free software *if
and when* it happens.

My suggestion is to completely shutdown launchpad's koha and move
everything to translate.koha.org, not to have two translation
projects.  We can fix the bugs in translate.koha.org if we want, but
we can't bugfix launchpad.

Hope that explains,
