It should not be a GNOME-specific project. Related is fine, but we
should not tie ourselves to one desktop. GNOME is not the only desktop
out there, and if we make ourselves dependant on GNOME, we lose the
ability to become a de facto standard that any app can use. I don't
believe in choosing sides when it's just as easy to play with both.

There are other i18n groups that will work with our svn tree. Look at
what gstreamer does, for example.
