><i> Ar Maw, 2010-10-05 am 10:38 +0200, ysgrifennodd Romain d'Alverny:
</I>>><i> So, no consistency planned for language/location for channels, let's
</I>>><i> grow this. See <A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=irc">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=irc</A> (will re-route
</I>>><i> web site list to this one).
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Here, #mageia-uk first come for United Kingdom, first served. For
</I>>><i> Ukraine/ukrainian-speaking, -ukr or -ua or something else?
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Romain
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Seems like this is all wrapped up at last. Ideally we could a model of
</I>><i> both local teams and language teams being able to use a 2 character
</I>><i> country/language code. It might be possible to have for example
</I>><i> #mageia-es to cater for Spanish speaking support and local Spanish
</I>><i> events if that is the will of the channel owner, or one or the other. I
</I>><i> reckon that we should take this on a case-by-case basis by listening to
</I>><i> the teams involved in how they would like their #mageia-* namespace to
</I>><i> be used.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> With regions such as Wales (Cymru in Welsh) it may be a better option to
</I>><i> use three letter codes such as -cym for Cymru, -sco for Scotland or -bzh
</I>><i> for Brittany. Or we could have #mageia-fr-br to represent that Brittany
</I>><i> is part of France and #mageia-uk-cy to show that Cymru/Wales is part of
</I>><i> the UK. We should try to stick to the ISO standards are closely as
</I>><i> possible but there may be times where two groups, i.e. a country code
</I>><i> and a language code may conflict and it best to serve those on a first
</I>><i> come first served basis in my humble opinion.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Anyone else got any differing ideas for the matter at hand?
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Cofion Gorau
</I>><i> Chris
</I>
In order to circumvent problems with the confusion of 2 letter code with
country-code and language-code designation, the ISO ratified the ISO
country-code with 2 letters
(<A HREF="http://www.iso.org/iso/english_country_names_and_code_elements">http://www.iso.org/iso/english_country_names_and_code_elements</A>); ISO
ratified the ISO language-code with 2 or 3 letters
(<A HREF="http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/codes.asp?order=639_3&letter=e">http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/codes.asp?order=639_3&letter=e</A>) -- not that
the SIL International, site that this link points to, is the
international organization in charge of codifying the language codes..
In our case a country-code designation and a country-code designation fo
3 letter would solve the problem.
#mageia-uk (channel for country-localization - UK)
#mageia-eng (channel for language-localization - English language)
#mageia-fr (channel for country-localization- France))
#mageia-fra (channel for language-localization - French language)
#mageia-es (channel for country-localization - Spain)
#mageia-spa (channel for language-localization - spanish language)
The is clear and easily explainable and verifyable by identifying our
reasons in a FAQ item with a link to the sites in charge of the conventions.
How easy is that?
