Author Fixing translations. Dealing with outdated files.

Hi!

I like Fernando's idea about dealing with outdated files! And it is not =
difficult to implement.

1. Build a script that will run regularly and will delete from CVS the =
translated files that are, let's say, 10 revisions older than the =
corresponding "en" original. Bear in mind that CVS will keep in its =
archive the deleted file. That's good, because it can be restored later.
2. PhD will use the "en" version instead of the deleted file, as it =
normally does.
3. When the translator responsible for that file returns (or when =
another translator takes over the work) he/she can restore from CVS the =
outdated file, update it and commit.

I also agree with Hannes that too much magic is dangerous :-)
But if all the magic tricks are written/documented in an =
instruction/manual and everybody is aware of them, then it's not a =
problem.

Best regards,
Simion.
