Hello! Considering the time necessary to achieve all the ongoing work and your impatience to see your work officially online ;), I propose our next DoudouLinux release be the 2010-11. This will let us from 2 to 6 weeks to finish pending tasks. Improvements for this release should most likely be (correct me if I'm wrong or if I missed something):
* localization - French: Lx apps - Arabic, Spanish: system environment - Romanian, Russian: system environment + Lx apps + pysycache/gcompris * system - web content filtering using DansGuardian - cute GUI for mouse and sound settings - removed delay on network DHCP messages at boot - bug fixes (crash on ext4 + persistence, install, USB creator tools) - new --dry-run option in DoudouLinux tools to test GUI without damaging you computer! - new devtools script to install translation tools in a running DoudouLinux box (full persistence recommended) * documentation - almost completed for English, French, Romanian, Russian * source code - move all translation files into a single SVN branch 'lang/' - use PO files for “rewrite scripts” too Well, it seems we've not been sleeping during the past 2 months… We likely need to complete these different tasks in the following order because of their inter-dependencies: 1. source code 2. system 3. localization 4. documentation I'm currently working on source code changes, this is nearly achieved. For the second point I just need to improve the DansGuardian content error page AFAIK. Localization and documentation don't need 1 and 2 to go on, but for DansGuardian there will be additional texts to be translated and certainly a new web page to write. Of course this is better to generate the 2010-11 images when documentation is ready! So ready for the launch? I wish you a good night/morning depending on your time zone, JM. NB: * We should certainly read the SVN history of the past 2 months to be sure documentation is up to date (see http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/doudoulinux/?view=log). * I can still build intermediary versions to let you check translations on a weekly base but not shorter _______________________________________________ Doudoulinux-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/doudoulinux-dev
