we're going to participate for development, Georgian l10n & i18n in the corresponding OOo project (we just doing this).
Very nice. I am sure you are well aware of an ongoing l10n of Georgian NL. As always, you are free to join our efforts - I am sure your contribution will be valuable to the project.
we're not going to intervene in the creating of Georgian part of OOo web site in the Native Language Project (we can _complementary_ do it within our local community as many countries does).
Of course you are free to build additional OOo local resource if you feel it will be usefull to the community and we will be happy to provide links to your resources provided your site does not contradict exsiting community project.
For now i can not give myself permission to do that without presence of the person from NL-ka project.Let us
I try to follow many OOo lists, but I also think that this is not the right place for project-internal discussions.
It means, that we (for now as www.gia.ge community) _ALREADY_: 1. express interest to be a Georgian l10n (NL was "reserved") team (strictly followed OOo instructions)
As Charles noted, OOo instructions are to cooperate with l10n efforts of existing official NL community to avoid duplication of work, as well as improve the quality and community involvement on local builds.
2. send patches providing Georgian Language support (approved)
I have seen patch #43476 of Feb 2005. Oliver has fixed it in CWS.Thank you. There are just minor changes needed.
3. translate 100% of UI 4. build full Linux RH FC5 installer 2.0.2 with _implemented_ Georgian UI (Giomac) 5. build (Cygwin/tcsh) full Windows installer 2.0.3 (me - not yet with Georgian) and now we're testing translation
Again, you are free to accomplish your own l10n project, but inorder for Georgian l10n of OOo to be integrated in official OOo CWS and aitomatically distributed with all major distributions as well as be available for download on OOo official site, you should join the l10n project of Georgian NL. AS you know, Georgian NL has already localized UI and part of UA and is now working on QA. I do not see any point in working independently and dublicating work in an open community project.
It means, that: 1. We have our l10n, i18n role and NOT going to "disturb" NL project. We're going to work on development, l10n, i18n, preparation and publishing our own and more specific documentation for local community. And yes, we'll be happy to share our experience and it could be used by NL project.
Please cooperate. The community will benefit from it. As Charles suggestedm let us keep this discussion at more apropriate place and let us meet to discuss possible cooperation.
