Yes, in fact, it's not the first time we get it. Jordi, is it on your
list of entries pending to be added to the FAQ page?

Taking it to a more technical detail, The GNOME Project, KDE, and others
will be imported as a set of products with CLOSED permissions and the
only translation team that will be able to change translations there
will be the official ones so to be accepted on such teams, you must be
authorized by the team coordinator from GNOME. That way, we will not
have duplicate work done with Rosetta by clueless people and we will be
100% sure that any translation done there will be committed to GNOME's
CVS because who did that translation has a way to do it directly. (Where
I say GNOME read, GNOME, KDE, any other project that we setup on
Rosetta).

I hope this clarify the explanation.

Cheers.
