Re: Database schema
Some thoughts regarding a translation proccess.
All translations are minor edits and does not constitute a separate
version. It means that Translator's access to the UMO will be locked if
Author makes minor changes to it at the same time.
I think it's possible to avoid this incovinient situation and let
Translators work at the same time with Authors. In order to do it, when
"locking" an UMO for edtors work, the UMO language should be considered
too.
In this case Author and several Translators can do their job at the same
time.
