  Hello!

After talking with Vasco Costa, portuguese developer and last translator, 
I've become the new translation maintainer for pt.po. I've given a 100% 
translated pt.po translation to Vasco for both S1_14 and HEAD.
A bit about me. I'm the current Portuguese translator for GNOME. Previously 
I've done some linuxdoc translations for a now dead portuguese translation 
project and also was the 1st portuguese translator for KDevelop (before it 
merged with main KDE, time when I handed the work to the portuguese KDE 
team).
When updating the Freeciv translations, I noticed a few issues on the 
english msgid's, for wich I'm going to open some bugs on the bug tracking 
system. I think that these should be fixed only for HEAD (if they are still 
valid there) so as not to break current string freeze on S1_14. But maybe 
others have a different opinion. Due to this issue, I'm also CC'ing the dev 
list. As I'm not subscribed to the dev list, I would appreciate replies to 
this message would be always sent to both lists. :)
Another thing... At GNOME, we have a script that generates daily status 
pages for translations. This is very helpful as a translator can go check on 
the status pages if his translation is up-to-date or not. If not, he can 
then update.
To help some translators with slower connections, the status page provides 
for download both the module.pot and the current lang_code.po merged with 
most recent module.pot. This way, a new translator can download the new pot 
and a current translator can download only the lang_code.po and CVS check in 
just the updated po and ChangeLog.
What would you think is the use for such a schema at Freeciv? Would it be 
possible to run this kind of script on the Freeciv server?
There is currently an issue on the GNOME translation status pages (it always 
happens when a new set is added and the GNOME 2.4 modules where added 
recently). Anyway, for you to see what I'm talking about, point your browser 
to http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/status/index.html
Thanks for your time reading this. Be Happy!
