-0. I think diverging from the iso versioning could be confusing.

We could leave the iso as 12.0, 12.1, or 12.5, and add extra terms for the documentation. But what happens if documentation is written for 12.0, a new language is added (12.0.1), and some files are updated (12.0.1.1), and a new iso 12.1 is released with a different software version which makes the original documentation slightly out-of-date? Is this 12.1.1.1? Or 12.1.0.0? I am not sure that versioning helps.

GeoTools once used a star system to communicate module/plugin quality:

Kind regards,
Ben.

Hello,

while some of you left already we discussed 3. Translations update (at 20:39:55)

see irc log http://irclogs.geoapt.com/osgeolive/%23osgeolive.2018-09-10.log

I will explain what we discussed and would like to make a motion at the end.

This would be the process:

1. Monthly update of the documentation files from transifex at https://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html (reason: to encourage the translators to work on the translation. Else they would have to wait till Version 13.0 in 1 year)

2. we would like to defined version numbers for the monthly updates f.e.
* v12.0.1 -> more translations on existing languages (micros when more files are translated) * v12.1.0 -> if a new language(s) is added (minors when a language has completed overviews)

Vicky and Bakaniko would work on the update of the documentation.

Astrid could help if we write a press release / news about it.

MOTION: OSGeoLive monthly updating and versioning of the documentation in the above explained way

Best Astrid
