+
+1 big group will surely mean less work for all involved, it also means
+more discipline for the translators/ language team leaders. :)
+
+If I understand previous discussions correctly this has nothing to do
+with the commit permissions (pushing translated files to svn).
+
+For safety reasons (bus error) I suggest to go for 2 person management.
