should the interface read directly the model files in github?

[mariegosme]

Should the interface read directly the model files in github at startup, instead of reading from the files that are bundled with the app at deployment?

Pros:

• immediate integration each time somebody improves translations
• no problem of syncing between the data used by the app and the data exposed to readers about what parameters are accepted in each model (which is usefull in API requests)

Cons:

• not possible for users to test locally their changes in the data and/or interface before commiting them
• no chance for beta-testers to test the new data before releasing on the "official" deployment

Other pros and cons? What's your opinion?
