Now it is quite stupid, it is based on SQL+PHP and each time you ask someth=
ing=20
the php script store in the SQL database a string containing the SQL query=
=20
that perform the required action and the name of who can execute that=20
string... then the guy you are asking to will receive an email that say=20
"check you requests on http://bla bla", he go there and execute (or not :-)=
)=20
the queries for each action requested.

I think this is not the way to go. Something more flexible is needed.
The problem is that permission are based on specific actions on specific en=
try=20
of the database (e.g. the maintainer of a file can give it to another but=20
this action is authorized only on his files) so we cannot use mysql=20
permission system.

Maybe...but I really do not know...

It would be nice also to change the "Markers" mechanism in kbabel so that=20
instead of a single type of marker one can put custom markers, right now th=
e=20
framework I put on kde.gulp.linux.it is able to create your "file.marklist"=
=20
to load with the catalog manager but it would be better to export the whole=
=20
assignment (i.e. not only my files but each translator file).
