Hi,
my 2 cents: if we can maintain our current workflow and choose to ignore or accept Rosetta contributions I'm OK with it.
The problem with Rosetta is that people contribute and then ask for explanations on why their translation wasn't merged in the final version, and then you (as "main" or "official" translator) have to tell them their translation is crap. People do not usually take that well ;-)
Cheers,
Why change?
Usage of Launchpad's Bazaar can extend our current working environment and allow us to work on the files online and get suggestion from Launchpad as well as working directly on the PO file, Bazaar can be updated the same way SVN does plus adding the online editing feature, I can't see what's wrong with that, those who would like to work in the old-fashioned way can keep on doing it but those who prefer moving on to launchpad can choose to do so...
Am I right?

My opinion is almost the same as Yuri's one, only adding that the
current process seems to be working well enough not to force us to
change it right now.
The only bonus point I can see there is a bigger base of translators for
not-so-widespread languages, but I'm much more worried about how it
would negatively impact on the overall style, correctness and coherence
(yes, already had bad experiences for these ones as well).
Cheers, Luca
