Yes, multiple PO files are good for a project this big.

Bert, we will do whatever is needed on the Pootle side of things to
make this work as smoothly as possible.  I am actually interested in
exploring and learning more about the commit connections to an SVN
repo as I would like to do hook up direfct commit for the AbiWord SVN.

All that is necessary is a little coordination of effort to minimize
downtime, I have every confidence we can work it out.
