Now there are 2 ways: with drupal.org and folders on a server In the second case I need to load a file on ftp.
I think, it is necessary to add loading of projects from a local computer on a server... ?

gábor hojtsyWhy?

pvasili commentedWhy?... (the most obvious):
1) I cannot give access to users on my server through ftp.
2) Translations are necessary for other projects (not on drupal.org and not drupal projects)
3) Modules with drupal.org are necessary to me not all.

gábor hojtsy1) That's what drupalorg module is supposed to be once fine grained settings are implemented. We need the fine-grained settings there (there is already an issue), so why build multiple ways towards the same goal? Why duplicate work?
2) Honestly, how many times do you need this? Also drupal.org tools are purposefuly architected to provide leverage to projects hosted at drupal.org. Projects hosted there get security announcements, reviews, they get categorized, they get issue queues, full release management, etc. They will get lots more in the coming future. They will also get to be translatable. We try to encourage people to host stuff on drupal.org, so our users get the same consistent environment for: getting the project, getting the translations, submitting bugs, getting updates. That's why this project will be hosted on drupal.org and all language specific standalone servers will be discouraged. This guarantees that the community will be sustainable. You get lots of services for your modules on drupal.org, but you are also required to publish your code under the GPL, so all will be free as in beer and speech in the future. Anyway, the real question here is that this happens so rarely thanks to this wonderful infrastructure, that I am not going to encourage it.
3) ?

gábor hojtsyRetitled to be more specific. I agree this might be desired (especially for the module when used on non Drupal projects) but not all a priority still.
Comment #5
gábor hojtsyThis was actually fixed in #789044: Is it possible to translate non-drupal projects? very recently. A blog post about this is now available on http://hojtsy.hu/blog/2010-may-05/using-drupal-collaborative-software-tr...
