Good afternoon, I've updated the Wikipedia article (in french) with the information in this newsletter :-)
Have fun, Xavier 2011/10/20 <[email protected]> > Hello! > > If you don't have our release schedule in mind, I recall that our next two > releases are the following: > > * the development version 2011-11, due to late November > * the second Gondwana update 1.2, due to mid January > > Gondwana 1.2 will be mainly a language update, just as 1.1 was. We may > include fixes and new (small) tools depending on development progress. As > not all our translator contributors have registered our lists, it would be > nice if some of us take the necessary time to send messages on Transifex > internal messaging in order to inform the whole translation team about > Gondwana 1.2 [1] (yes I mean one message per contributor, this is why it is > better if we are several people to do the job). > > I've just rearranged the development version schedule [2] to reach what > seems possible to do, supposing that more contributors help the project for > its development version too ;). > > [1] http://team.doudoulinux.org/issues/435 > [2] http://team.doudoulinux.org/projects/doudoulinux-cd/issues/gantt > > And then everybody's eyes open wide: “I definitively can't program, how > could I help the development version?” :p > > Well, I'm not sectarian, there are many other possibilities to make this > version way better than the previous one 2011-08: > > * Provide an augmented SVG library for TBO [1] > Your role is to find collections of astonishing SVG draws on Open Clip Art > Library in order to widen the possibilities of TBO for drawing comics. > > * Search for existing literature [2] > I'm looking for texts targeting children in various languages and, of > course, with compliant licenses. I came across gutenberg.org and invite > you to start by searching this website for such texts (see the sub-ticket of > this ticket :) ). > > * Ship small illustrated stories on CD then website [3] > Kind of extent of the idea above: once we have short stories, why not > beautifying them? You need to draw or be able to find nice drawings, with > compliant licenses :). > > * Teaching children programming [4] > Four new applications have been installed for this purpose in 2011-08. We > now need to test them and decide which ones are the easiest to understand > and use. Why not giving them a try? > > * Search for existing MIDI files with compliant licenses [5] > Your role is to find collections of pleasant MIDI music files, with > compliant licenses – still. Beware that both the music author and performer > must be taken into account for copyrights. Children songs or traditional > songs highly welcomed of course! > > * Update website for 2011-11 [6] > Although our website should not be adapted weeks before a release is out, > some tasks can be planned and some other ones, like making videos, already > started. > > * My first blog [7] > I need some people to install and test several wiki/blog engines and > evaluate their ease of use, in order to make the first children (local) blog > engine. I still don't know whether we need to write one by ourself or can > simply derive an existing one. > > [1] http://team.doudoulinux.org/issues/85 > [2] http://team.doudoulinux.org/issues/417 > [3] http://team.doudoulinux.org/issues/79 > [4] http://team.doudoulinux.org/issues/98 > [5] http://team.doudoulinux.org/issues/227 > [6] http://team.doudoulinux.org/issues/429 > [7] http://team.doudoulinux.org/issues/424 > > Note that the latest, #7, is not for 2011-11! But I need people to help > decide what we do for this important new feature. There are also tasks about > documentation writing, testing is always a good idea and… you can help write > code as well! > > Of course I don't pretend to be exhaustive and you may also have good ideas > to develop our project. Feel free to tell us :). > > > All the best, > JM. > > _______________________________________________ > Doudoulinux-dev mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/doudoulinux-dev >
