-*Someone to investigate and identify the benefits and repercussions of using xml2po.
+[[DocumentationTranslation#Tutorial_Translation]].
-*If it is decided that we will be better off with xml2po overall (rather than individual full conversions as we currently have) of each tutorial, we will need people to translate existing and future tutorials.
