hey ... I wrote a somewhat long blog with some thoughts about localizing the OpenSolaris website. It's a tad complex, I admit, but at least we now have a much better set of tools to work with (bugs and all we are making progress). Having said that, because we are really starting from scratch, there is a significant amount of opportunity for people in this community to contribute. This community has /already/ contributed a great deal (to auth, the website, and the distro) via CTI and other means, and people are very much noticing those contributions.
So, here's where I see things at the moment regarding the website: http://blogs.sun.com/jimgris/entry/localizing_opensolaris_website_content NOTE: We have an immediate need regarding Japanese. The XWiki application supports 21 languages but not Japanese. Now, it certainly supports the display of Japanese text, of course, but the app has not been localized for ja, and that's what we need for our implementation of XWiki on hub.opensolaris.org. Japanese is the #1 non English language hitting our site by far, and we'd like to have more content localized. So, if you are Japanese and you speak English and you'd like to make an utterly gigantic contribution to not only the OpenSolaris community in Japan, but to the XWiki community around the world, go to the XWiki website and help localize the application. I already told the XWiki community that I was going to ask our community to get involved, and as a result, they updated their l10n.xwiki.org website. :) It looks quite nice. http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/L10N/AddALanguage And if you speak a language not listed among XWiki's 21 supported languages, the same opportunity is open to you. We'd love to support many more languages on the OpenSolaris website, but some of this work has to take place at XWiki as well. Personally, I think this is a wonderful opportunity for the communities to collaborate. And in a few weeks, we should have a new auth resources file for updating. Look for that in CTI via Ales and the guys soon. Thanks, Jim
