Hi, I'm a wikimedian and my main experience with OpenStack is at
wmflabs.org.
I just want to add some short comments on
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aqevw3Q-ErDUdFgzT3VNVXQxd095bFgzODRmajJDeVE>
which seems to contain some mistakes about translatewiki.net:
1) "Cross-project translation teams": I don't know what you mean exactly
but it should be a "Yes", example
<https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Portal:It>;
2) "Cross-project translation memory" is definitely a "Yes", it could
even be shared between different wikis (so not only from all
translatewiki.net projects but also Wikimedia wikis)
<http://laxstrom.name/blag/2012/09/07/translation-memory-all-wikimedia-wikis/>;
3) "good interface"... I guess it's about opinions, but ensure your
assessment is about the new interface
<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/03/25/redesigning-the-translation-experience-an-overview/>;
4) "Hosted vs. Self-hosted": you can self-host it and it has extensive
documentation <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Translate>; as
said above a shared translation memory can be discussed.
Then there are some unclear points:
5) "Management workflows that fit OpenStack process" is unclear, how is
OpenStack's process different from e.g. MediaWiki's? I know it's hard to
believe for people coming from other localisation platforms, but
Translate is designed to let translators translate and developers
develop; it doesn't break your translations or build as e.g. Transifex
reportedly does.
6) "Bug Tracker Integration": I'd like to know more about your needs. By
using the on-wiki support request interface and Semantic MediaWiki, we
manage more tickets than the busiest MediaWiki's bugzilla components.
<https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Support/Open_requests>
7) "Support for all common translation formats": do you have so many
formats? :) I suppose you only care about those you use, don't you? What
are they? See also
