Kit,
There's "technically feasible" and "socially feasible". Technically, we
can do this. Socially, only the first part is going to work (where the
system automatically keeps track of the authors). The second part,
where people make notes about translations they enter for others -
realistically, nobody is going to do that, at least not for more than a
day or two, especially not people who don't work for a big company. So
we shouldn't even pretend that they are going to.
However, I also think that the second part isn't a big deal because
*anyone* can get a bugzilla account and thus be a Babel contributor,
thus the "I'm committing this string for someone else" is going to
happen much less than for code and perhaps not even happen at all.

For example, a

file may look something like the sample below.
Basically, if a contributor enters
the
translation directly into the server, we will add a line like
"kitlo@xxxxxxxxxx
- translated string(s) 1,2,3" to the properties file, where
"kitlo@xxxxxxxxxx"
is the Bugzilla ID of the contributor. We should have this information
since we need to log on to the server using the Bugzilla ID first.
If a committer enters a translation
for a contributor by copying a fix from a bug or e-mail, we will add a
line like "denis.roy@xxxxxxxxxxx...", where we can add a note
on where the translation came from.
Is that feasible to do? Any comments?
