Hi all

I am going to remove the .po (and .pot) files from the git project in
a couple of days (let me know if more time is desirable).
I will try to keep the existing translations and port them back in the
future scenario, if the rst master document outline won't change too
much).

For this purpose I have seen that some of you has translated strings
by using the QGIS Translation Web Application without committing back
changes to git. Please commit your work if you want to keep in git.
For doing so, you need to go to the review page (for example, this
page [1] for the French translation effort), and click on the "Commit
to VCS" link for the page you want to commit (before doing that is
always better to click on the "Update from VCS" link). You will see
those links only if logged and with correct permissions.
