As the documentation section is still under +</I>><i> construction I will postpone the building of this team until open +</I>><i> questions are answered (as a preview, Calenco (<A HREF="http://www.calenco.com">http://www.calenco.com</A>) +</I>><i> will possibly be chosen as collaboration tool for that). +</I>><i> +</I>><i> So let's start right away with the procedure (please read to the end +</I>><i> to get all infos): +</I>><i> +</I>><i> First I want to make a distinction between the translation of +</I>><i> application menues/strings translation and floating text translation +</I>><i> of documents. As everybody knows there are important differences in +</I>><i> the workflow, the tools, etc. between these 2 sections of i18n, +</I>><i> although there are many translators working in both areas. I want to +</I>><i> focus on the application translation first because text translation +</I>><i> depends on the documentation team's work, which is not yet ready to +</I>><i> go. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> One point we could discuss is avoiding same path in case of documentation +</I>as in Mandriva which rather intimidated translators and IMHO was somehow +cumbersome (I never could master neither Borges nor it's successor). Maybe +we could adapt e.g. KDE's way: make documentation available in same format +as UI, i.e. in PO-files, and use some scripts translating PO to XML and vice +versa? + +I suggest the following steps: +><i> +</I>><i> - Announce team bulding on the i18n list (this mail here) +</I>><i> +</I>><i> - Let language teams organize themselves internally, name contacts/team +</I>><i> leaders +</I>><i> +</I>><i> - First meeting on IRC +</I>><i> +</I>><i> +</I>><i> The simple task of this team building process is to organize all the +</I>><i> different language groups, find a way for general discussions, +</I>><i> participate in regular meetings, choose the representatives which will +</I>><i> report to the community council and/or be the contact for the council. +</I>><i> This will be achieved in several steps: +</I>><i> +</I>><i> - setting an organisational structure for each language. This will be +</I>><i> done inside each group. The task of the internal groups is to +</I>><i> implement short communication ways inside each language group to +</I>><i> coordinate work for the language in question. This way local +</I>><i> discussions will not clutter the i18n mailing list. Another task may +</I>><i> be to "hire" more people interested in this line of work. There are +</I>><i> many translators out there who would help translating documents but +</I>><i> not so many who woould do the "string work". We should find ways to +</I>><i> improve this situation :) +</I>><i> +</I>><i> - - Each language group can set up their own mailing list or wiki +</I>><i> page (example: French and German) for internal communication. If there +</I>><i> is a necessity to set up a mailing list on the Mageia server pls tell +</I>><i> me. +</I>><i> - - Each language group selects 2 "contacts" which may be also the +</I>><i> team leaders but not necessary. These contacts will meet regularly on +</I>><i> IRC - please only one (1) person per language - with the contacts of +</I>><i> other language groups to discuss and report from and to their language +</I>><i> group +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I can announce Estonian team hereby but I rather sucpect it'll be +</I>one-man-team, as it was many years in Mandriva. Though mailing list may be +good idea, if using it as possible contact for users where they can report +translation errors or make some suggestions on even suggest themselves as +translators or some other kind contributors. + + +><i> 2.
