Hi Tim

thanks for the feedback.
At this point, given my total lack of time (unluckily!), I would go
with the Pootle approach, as it is already installed and working (need
to do some test, though).

If anyone is willing to test some other approach, these are the most
common road I am aware of:

* Pootle (already on line: http://translate.qgis.org/, we only need to
soft link the git doc project subdirectory to Pootle projects)
* Transifex (never tested)
* Weblate (tested at Lyon HF, but didn't like a couple of things about
it at that time, but maybe now things are changed and would be worth a
try)

curiously, they are all written in Django
