Hello! Here are the weekly news. This week was a bit quiet compared to the previous one but we're still moving fast and forward as you'll see :).
Cheers, JM. PS: if you feel that I forgot to mention an important news, feel free to answer this mail with your scoop! Team ===== * We welcomed a new Italian contributor on Transifex: lfasci (Lorenzo Fascì). * We welcomed a new Dutch contributor from LinuxMint.be: Stefan. Welcome to our project! Organization =========== * With Elisa we started to use the DoudouLinux IRC channel on freenode (see message https://mail.gna.org/public/doudoulinux-dev/2011-03/msg00050.html). You are invited to join us there too, mainly in the evening for me (19h-22h GMT). Don't be afraid of seeing us speaking French: we'll switch immediately to English! * Nava wrote me about his ideas for the project. I'll try to give you more details soon: why not using Xfce, what about derivatives of DDL (planned!), what about a nicer interface (planned!), what about using the mouse cursor to indicate what to do? Translations =========== * I received updated translation files for Chinese (Born, Samsongcn), Dutch (FrenchR), Greek (Panos), Italian (Lorenzo), Persian (Nava), Spanish (Yago) and Swedish (Lars). * Special congratulations for Yago who is leading Spanish to the small group of 100% translated languages. He's not fully at 100% but we can consider that this is done! This is really great news. CDROM ======= * As I said before I'll build an intermediary update 2011-03 during the coming days. No new features, just many new translations, which is not minor! Concerned languages are: Chinese, Dutch, Greek, Italian, Persian, Polish, Spanish, Swedish. Quite a lot… * Gérald and I are getting organized to have DDL based on Debian Squeeze instead of Debian Lenny. A new page is available on our public website about this process (see http://www.doudoulinux.org/web/english/contribute/developers/article/migration-to-debian-squeeze). Anyone interested in helping can join the effort :). Note that we don't know when it'll be ready… * With Elisa we started to evaluate a new software: TBO (see http://danigm.net/TBO). This is a tool to easily design comics. As it is not part of Debian, Elisa contacted the author to have his support for DDL. More information will come on this list. Graphics ======== No news. Website ======= * Benheng proposed another Chinese page for publication (DoudouLinux, the computer they prefer!). * I proposed a new page for publication (Why try DDL?). I started a thread on this list to discuss about its content (see message https://mail.gna.org/public/doudoulinux-dev/2011-03/msg00059.html). * With Elisa we're planning to redesign our download links and our download page. You are invited to give your opinion about the 3 proposed alternatives :) (see message https://mail.gna.org/public/doudoulinux-dev/2011-03/msg00053.html). * We still have to write a news to announce that DDL joined the OIN plus a news to tell that Persian has started plus a news to tell that the migration to Squeeze is on the road… Communication ============= * Richard will continue to write this week his presentation of DDL for the Maracaibo FLISOL event on 9-April (see http://flisol.org.ve/). * Denis got additional Dutch speaking supporters to help translate the website into Dutch (see message https://mail.gna.org/public/doudoulinux-dev/2011-03/msg00054.html). He simply asked for help on Linux related forums, so now read the following item… * Elisa talked with the leader of the localization of Mozilla (Pascal). He explained her how they manage to find translators for 85 languages (see message https://mail.gna.org/public/doudoulinux-dev/2011-03/msg00058.html). One method is posting on forums ;). We now have to start doing like Mozilla does :). Volunteers wanted to help do this task! Support ======= * No news. _______________________________________________ Doudoulinux-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/doudoulinux-dev
