Transifex itself (or whatever oss tool we choose) is free as in beer and freedom, but integrating it to Harmattan's localization process and maintaining it in maemo.org will cost some hours and euros.

It's a tool that will be used basically by the community. We don't mind whether the council has a say or not, but it makes sense that we seek the community endorsement before going for serious implementation.

If zerojay goes ahead with his push (thank you!) and comes up with a recommendation + the maemo.org webmaster agrees + glezos (or whoever lead developer of the localization tool chosen) also agrees, I think we are all set.
