yes, thats true, although i must say, the howto for translating with git
[0] is really good and helps a lot. i used this to do my first steps
with git and i think its a nice way to get into using git. but i also
sometimes crave a simple webinterface and i totally understand people
not wanting to get into git to help translating...

i would add 'privacy sensitive' to the features of the webinterface.
there are some SAAS, like transifex, which are run by some company and
although they do good stuff for some opensource projects, i don't really
trust them. if possible i'd prefer a service by some tech collective -
but i also know that there's maybe no such service out there...

i think it also would be great to have some kind of bug reporting
feature for missing strings, missing pages, wrong or outdated
translations...

cheers,
