As asked by dmorgan, ldap support was added to transifex ( and while on
it, deployed using wsgi and apache ), so we can now find a transifex
instance on transifex.mageia.org. 

Member of mga-sysadmin are super users, so we should be able to create
projects and so on by using our ldap login.

However, it is not ready yet :

- no SSL ( so I do not recommend to test yet )
- no organisation on i18n side, ie, who will be able to connect, how
will the team be organized ?
- no theme
- no usage of email for login
- no connexion with our svn

Point 1 will likely be done in one hour.

Point 2 would requires someone to go and see with i18n team. Any
volunteer ?

Point 3 will be delegated to webteam. If someone want, that's just
adding a directory in svn, a automated checkout, and setting the right
templates dir in django. 

Point 4 is also easy, just modify file 45-ldap.conf. Should be done
soon.

Point 5 is a little bit more tricky. We must create a transifex user in
ldap, add it to mga-commiters, and ask transifex to use this. While this
sound simple, I didn't found the time to play much with transifex on
admin side, so if someone already did, please do not hesitate to speak.
