Interview with Dimitris Glezos on Transifex

Because of how well Transifex is integrated as a technical and social solution, it has the
chance to start a mini revolution in translation of libre/free and open source software.  It
couldn't be much easier for a project to plug into the existing infrastructure at

translator can use it right now to integrate all their upstreams running against their own
instance of Transifex on the desktop.

I'm wickedly biased for Dimitris' work, but it really is great stuff.
