[webgen-users] Keeping track of outdated translations
As the new FSFE Fellowship pages are continuously updated with more information, often with small changes like adding a new mailing list, we were wondering what the best way would be to keep track of the outdated translations. Would this be a sensible feature for webgen itself? Are there extensions that can do this? Is there some ruby magic that could help? all the best, /Stian

However, it should be rather easy to do this with a version control system like git because you can track changes to the main file (e.g. the english page) and then issue update requests to the maintainers of the translated pages. It will get more complicated if original changes can be introduced in many pages (e.g. in the German and the English page). -- Thomas
