Congratulations for OpenOffice.org incubator project! My first post to [email protected] starts with some questions.
First question, "Can we as an incubator project realease Apache OpenOffice.org X.X or OpenOffice.org 3.4 or whatever? Or are we going to release it soon?" I think "release soon" is one of the most important short term goals. I, as marketing project coordinator for OpenOffice.org Japanese Language Project, have accountability because, as I told when I introduced myself to the [email protected], http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201106.mbox/%[email protected]%3E we have 4 projects such as marketing, quality assurance, translation and documentation projects, and these 4 projects have cooperated and worked so hard together to release stable quality OpenOffice.org Japanese and to promote OpenOffice.org in a number of ways that we have increased our user base. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/JA/Marketing/OpenOffice.org_Deployments First I will have to explain "what happened to OpenOffice.org" to members of OpenOffice.org Japanese Project and many OpenOffice.org users in Japan. I am planning to post Japanese translation of the text of http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OpenOfficeProposal to [email protected]. I have translated it up to the secretive NKRS computer system part now. :) http://openoffice.org/projects/ja/lists/marketing/archive/2011-06/message/22 Then the most important thing I have to tell them is "When new and stable OpenOffice.org Japanese will be released" or "It will not be released soon." If it is not be released soon, I have to tell them reasons why it will not be released soon. To tell them the proposal and the reasons in Japanese I would like to have a Japanese page on http://wiki.apache.org/. Second question, "Is there any rule, like wiki page naming, to put a non-English page on the Wiki? I would like to create a Japanese wiki page and to do the other works like translation, localization, marketing and more as a team, which maybe we can call "a language project." Third question, "Can we rationalize and formalize a language project?" If we can, then can we, OpenOffice.org incubator project, make a procedure to apply and accept a language project? Thanks, khirano
