Hi all, Yesterday we had a great meeting over IRC, around 3 hours long!
Check the lengthy IRC log: https://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/Events/IRCMeeting20121006 A summary of it (please add comments and corrections!): - GNOME 3.6 looked good (translation wise) some concerns were: -- hard to test due to distributions not being updated enough -- we hope that GNOME testing initiative (aka GNOME OS) improves by next release :) -- some QA guidelines were thought as needed to do translation testing - new design of http://l10n.gnome.org -- the RTL situation is not really good but Arab translators will provide screenshots on how to fix it (help needed thought) - switching D-L to only show words -- strong arguments on both sides, more discussion, mockups or subteams working on proposals would help changing things (if there's a need for it at all) - next IRC meeting -- Gabor volunteers to run it one for next month, we will get news from him soon hopefully :) - accelerators on app menus (the thing on the GNOME Shell bar) -- translators feel uncomfortable with the situation, lots of modules with accelerators, lots of other modules without -- will try to get attention from designers and developers to have clear guidelines (if possible) - doing another survey for coordinators -- still not clear what we want to ask to ourselves (a bit philosophical this one :D) -- some mail will be sent to this list asking about ideas - dropping docbook (documentation) translations -- Gabor volunteered to ask documentation team about their plans - splitting the big GNOME module set -- everyone agrees that we have to move it forward, lots of technical details and design decisions to be made though -- where to put the line on splitting modules -- what to use as the mighty 80% - dead modules -- that's a big concern we all have, how to make sure translators don't waste time translating modules that are not maintained or used -- idea of making D-L send mails to warn maintainers and translators about a module not being updated/released during a GNOME cycle (6 months) -- some git sorcery is needed to make D-L work, volunteers welcomed :) -- Piotr made a new list of dead modules: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685632 -- discussed some way to make translators aware of it on D-L itself (showing some sort of banner or warning) That's roughly it, but please, if you have time, read the minutes, they are quite valuable :) Happy translating! -- Gil Forcada [ca] guifi.net - una xarxa lliure que no para de créixer [en] guifi.net - a non-stopping free network bloc: http://gil.badall.net planet: http://planet.guifi.net _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
