Description Damian Jansen 2013-11-29 03:30:01 UTC
Description of problem:

https://github.com/zanata/zanata-server/wiki/Project-Types

The http://<server>/zanata/project/create/ page has a Project Type default of "No Selection". The tooltip points to the above github wiki page.

The wiki page does not indicate what the default does, or how it affects project usage and client push-pull behaviour.

damason: is

"No Selection allows the upload of all file types other than .properties and .xml via the Website GUI, but will prevent the use of Zanata CLI clients."

enough of a description?

It doesn't really prevent the use of CLI clients, but it doesn't allow web upload of .properties, .xml or XLIFF.

"No selection" is also not a value we should be letting the user select.  It's really a legacy thing, from before there was a way to select project type on the server.  

Every new project and project version should be created with a non-null project type.

I'm not sure what effect "no selection" has on PO downloads in the web UI.  We need to check.
