If you have this in mind, it would be useful to learn from the  
current Debian project integrating Pootle into an overall i18n  
infrastructure.

Also, the best way to create the Pootle [1] you want is to use the  
current servers, log bugs and make suggestions. The Wordforge project  
is very responsive to the needs of upstream projects and translation  
teams.

I can speak from my own experience, since I've used various Pootles  
for some time now, and I've been quite taken aback (but delighted) to  
see how quickly my bugs are fixed (sometimes live on IRC!), and how  
wholeheartedly my suggestions are taken up.

Pootle is free-software. I think that might have something to do with  
the user-centric approach. ;)
