Hello Daniel, thanks for invitation, Denis.
Structure of man-pages-ru you can to see in
http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/man-pages/.

+One page -- one .po.
+Editing some_man.po. --> jam some_man --> man -l  some_man.result
+Autotranslating duplication strings by one command from compendium_file.
-Hackish style magic Jamfile
-buggy transifex interface (must be fixed in the new version soon)

We use svn in sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/man-pages-ru/

Just one bleeding edge trunk, no versions devided.
Syncronisation with man-pages-git and updating .po (per language) after announce a new version.
