One reason we're moving off of Transifex is that they anounced that they're applying for a patent.
I noticed while searching through my email that I had sent in a patch to Transifex while working at CC... and I had signed a CLA. :\
I never shoulda done that! Too bad I can't go back and time with what I know now!

What will you use instead? What do you recommend for translation / i18n generally?
@wolftune I still do it the old-fashion way: po files, Emacs + Emacs po-mode. I use grep to search the translations. Doing it since 2008 for the Bulgarian GNOME translation. It is not that hard.
Side note: Cloud+platform+web-based software usually ends in tears for the users.
@wolftune We are currently in-progress moving away from transifex. https://issues.mediagoblin.org/ticket/913
Not clear what we might move to for sure yet. It might be the GNU pootle server.

I'm apparently in the minority here, but I think trivial compositions of two functions have no place in a standard library. (c.f. if-not)2013-05-23T00:42:23+00:00 To: Public

@cwebber, I basically agree with you. It's also clear our Web culture doesn't care if blind people can use the Web, either.Stephen Compall shared this.

@bkuhn Agreed; seems many devs only care that "most" people can use Web. No one uses text or light GUI browsers or screenreaders, right?2013-05-15T14:09:27+00:00 To: a(n) person, Public
