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> I suggest the following steps: +</I>><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 discovered that a large number of people who have put their names on +</I>><i> the wiki page for translation work are not subscribed to this list. I +</I>><i> can't possibly add more than 70 addresses to this mail, so I suggest +</I>><i> that those who are subscribed may tell others they know in their +</I>><i> language group about all this. We may find a better solution in the +</I>><i> first meeting. I will of course copy this information on the top of +</I>><i> the wiki page as well. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I'd like to see the internal organisation done by Wednesday next week, +</I>><i> at least a "get together" and the selection of the contacts and/or +</I>><i> leaders. So, pls stick your heads together and talk to each other :) +</I>><i> +</I>><i> +</I>><i> 2. First meeting +</I>><i> +</I>><i> First meeting should be next week. As time/date I suggest Thursday, +</I>><i> December 9, 2010, at 18:00 Paris time (GMT +1). +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I know that it is difficult to set a time/date which will suit +</I>><i> everybody because we are living in different time zones. We may find a +</I>><i> solution during discussing this in the meeting, a possible solution +</I>><i> may be a changing time every other week, so everybody will find a time +</I>><i> which suits him. Of course there will be meeting logs available in the +</I>><i> wiki so everybody can follow the logs and discuss in his language +</I>><i> group or in this list here. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Meetings will be held in #mageia-i18n on Freenode. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I will hold the chair for the first meeting, then we will see if +</I>><i> anybody wants to do that or if I go on. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Participants will be the contacts of the language groups but, again, - +</I>><i> PLEASE - only one person per language. Meeting experiences have shown +</I>><i> that there is a limit of participants above which an organized meeting +</I>><i> is not possible (see full logs of the founders meetings to understand +</I>><i> what I mean with "organized meetings") :) +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Suggested topics of the 1st meeting will be: +</I>><i> +</I>><i> - setting of team structures (internal per language, overall +</I>><i> structure, naming of leaders and contacts to report to community +</I>><i> council) +</I>><i> +</I>><i> - General i18n wiki page, mailing lists (wiki page should link with +</I>><i> documentation wiki wrt i18n HowTos), what do we need? +</I>><i> +</I>><i> - collaboration tools for i18n +</I>><i> - - Transifex is already set on the server. It may be good if +</I>><i> somebody who knows it could give a bit of insight during the meeting +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Meeting should not be longer than 2 hours, exceptions possible. The +</I>><i> first meeting I expect to be a little longer as we will set the first +</I>><i> stones. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Then we'll go from there. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Comments welcome. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> -- +</I>><i> wobo +</I>><i> +</I>-------------- next part -------------- +An HTML attachment was scrubbed... +URL: </pipermail/mageia-i18n/attachments/20101206/dfcdc07b/attachment.html> +</PRE> + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000375.html">[Mageia-i18n] Setting up i18n team +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000386.html">[Mageia-i18n] Setting up i18n team +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#380">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#380">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#380">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#380">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-i18n">More information about the Mageia-i18n +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
