Hi all,
A short update from FR project and the work in progress :
We are preparing the Libre Software meeting which is a pretty large 4
days event in july. A special communication targeting mayor and
territorial collectivities is worked out between several of us (Mozilla,
Mandrake...).
We are participating to the QA l10n of the beta release (I'm currently
translating the base tests) on linux and win plateforms, hoping for PPc
and Mac ports to be tested too.
We are also working with Brigitte (French l10n responsible) to correct
the statistical functions translation in the online help, based on the
feedback of a professional.
Our lab project is hosting several initiatives that are at their very
begining and need some times to see if they are viable :
. localisation in those languages : Fongb� (Benin), Wolof (Senegal),
Bamanan (Mali), Moor� (Burkina Faso)
. NetBSD port (Isabelle Hurbain wich is doing the port will be helped by
Eric B. to follow the dev process in place in OOo).
Of course, all this work will join the concerned projects (l10n and
porting) once they are really engaged.
I'm also trying to put in place a specs and issues monitoring for 3.0
developments with a dedicated group.
Three important projects are now well developed and we need to advertise
them more in our group :
- Dmaths (tool for math users and teachers)
http://www.dmaths.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=9
(english link)
- Dsciences (tool for science users and teachers)
http://jpmartinlinux.free.fr/
- OOoHG (tool for history and geography users and teachers)
http://ooo.hg.free.fr/
Those sites will work on a common graphical interface they'll agree on
and will be referenced on the first page of FR site for a better
interaction.
At last, a French grammar project is begining, leaded by Laurent Godard
(for Indesko) and the 'automatic language processing' departement of
Grenoble university. This is focused on french grammar but the engine
will be free and could be (in the long goal) integrated in OOo.
Well that's all, don't hesitate if you have any questions or suggestions
about this work in progress, this is meant to share informations and
experiences :)
Kind regards
Sophie
