I'm interested to hear what people think we should be focusing on, and
setting as our criteria for the next OSGeo-Live release.
I hope to be able to achieve the following:
1. Introduction of translations for Project Overviews.
2. Completion of OGC Standards Overviews, and then greater OGC and OSGeo
community review of the standard descriptions that have been written up
so far.
3. Translation of the OGC Standard Overviews.
4. Write or update Quick Starts for all applications. We will encourage
but not mandate these Quick Starts to have screen grabs. I'd love to see
these Quick Starts translated, but I suspect this will need to wait for
a future release, due to the large amount of effort required and minimal
time allocated.
5. I'd like to see all Quick Starts run by an independent tester, and
for the tester to record their testing results so that we have
confidence that we have tested the entire application. It would be good
if our testers used screen capture into a video, which could be included
in our marketing material.
6. We will likely have some new applications added.
7. What else?
I've put together a proposed schedule for the next OSGeo-Live release
[1], which should be starting toward the end of November, with a release
coming out mid March.
I'm interested to hear whether this is achievable. I especially want to
hear from the translators for each language to hear the level of
commitment you think you can bring to the project and what you wish to
translate. There is a lot of work involved in translating and I'd like
to make sure we set realistic targets. Translating is also a huge draw
card for people creating documentation, as it is something they mostly
cannot do themselves.
