While the Pootle documentation on the OLPC wiki is pretty outdated,
things that are still (at least partially) relevant include:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Pootle/FAQ
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Pootle/AdministrationQuickStart
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Localization/i18n_Best_Practices
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Localization/Workflow
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Localization/Testing#Utilizing_the_tests_available_from_within_Pootle


Maybe these can be utilized as a starting point ?

Cheers,
