- Why new translations are not propagated to project X
Translations are propagated to all our sites along with all other software updates.
It known, but don't explain cause of problem :-) Something stops or will stop deployment of new versions. So will be good idea to notify outside world a priori. At least TranslateWiki maintainers will be able to answer such questions :-)
I think will be good idea to introduce some kind of technical stuff reporting and future planning (may be located on WMF site). It'll provide approximate answer for question 1; explain clearly situation with 2 (like "rXYZ introduced database scheme changes, currently updating WMF servers"). This will also highlight and communicate priorities to general public.
This is pretty much what I try to do (not always as successfully as I plan ;) on my blog:
of which wiki-related posts are replicated on the Planet Wikimedia aggregator:
I don't think that blog is right place for such announcement. Especially Planet where technical issues will be mixed with non-technical ones. I think something more predictable and permanent like WMF wiki will do job better.
