Hi all, I tried to rewrite the native language page, http://ooo-site.apache.org/projects/native-lang.html, and to define structure and process of Native Language Projects within Apache OpenOffice.org (incubating) project.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Native+Language+Projects ----- Native Language Projects A Native Language Project has a native language list. They discuss about their activity on the list. Their activities include localization, translation, quality assurance, documentation, user support and marketing etc. For these activities they can use the site (ooo-site.apache.org/language-code), the wiki (wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/language-code) and the pootle server (translate.apache.org/projects/OOo/). If you want to create your native language project, take the following steps. 1. You subscribe the project list, ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org. 2. Show your enthusiasm on the list 3. Become a committer and PPMC member if someone recommends you and PPMC approves you as a committer and PPMC member. 4. Then on the project list you will propose a name of your native language list. It should be looks like ooo-xxxxx-(language-code)@incubator.apache.org where xxxxx will be a word you like. For example Japanese Native Language Project chose "general" for "xxxxx" so that its list name is ooo-general...@incubator.apahce.org. 5. If no objection against your proposal, then file an issue titled "Create ooo-xxxxx-(language-code)@incubator.apache.org" 6. When the list is created, the Apache OpenOffice.org (incubating) project may help announce it using ooo-announce list if we have it 7. Or you can tell your friends or write a blog about your native language list and encourage your native language users and contributors to subscribe the list. ----- If a current committer or a PPMC member wants to create her/his native language project and to be a moderator for its native language list, then it will be easy for them to create it and start their native language activity because they can skip step 1, 2 and 3. :) Thanks, khirano -- khir...@apache.org OpenOffice.org[TM](incubating)|The Free and Open Productivity Suite Apache incubator http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/
