Afrikaans Language Pack
Good day. I understand that an uncompleted Afrikaans Language Pack for Open Office 3.4 1 is in existence. If I am wrong, I wish to take part in -- or even to initiate -- a project to create such a language pack. I had an older version of OpenOffice which was available in Afrikaans, but this does not seem to be available at present for the latest version. I am retired and have time available to devote to a project to translate the necessary pack from English to Afrikaans. I am Afrikaans speaking, but am 100 percent capable in English, which has been my second language (first language in the workplace) from schooldays. Please let me have more information on such a project.

If I may say so, the disconnect is already in place for the danish translationand I am sure none of us like it. The danish forum has one simple solution, download LO. What is better that the people server get swammed (which might lead to a change in policy) or users give up ! This specific issue has now been solved by invoking policy (so, we will be able to put builds on people.apache.org but we won't link to them from the main website), but the problem is not here. The problem is that we have had a Polish translation ready for months and that we haven't released it yet (even though recent improvements are really huge and will allow to avoid long waits in future). +1, 2 of the 3 danish volunteers (not including me) have more or less stopped working due to demotivation...we have not even been able to provide them with a running version to test their work until very recently. communication is key here and people can ask again and again if nothing happened in time. We have so many things to do that it is often not easy to make it right for everybody. I would like to see everything more automated but even that needs time and people who work on it. Andrew and Herbert improved the build bots a lot (ok MacOS bot is still missing) and you can easy find the result under http://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/ The windows configuration is very close to our release configuration (no binfilter) and should be perfect for testing of translations. For the Danish translation for example I have updated Pootle and trunk immediately after receiving the files. Everybody would have been able to build it on trunk. Ok some strings are moved now and the translation needs some tweaks as all other translations as well. I am also sometimes demotivated because things didn't worked as expected but I don't stop trying to make it better. Juergen So why haven't we released the Polish translation? I agree that is a problem, but not one that requires policy to change to solve. Maybe releases under incubation were a pain the ass. But the are relatively easy now. We should try it sometime... In general, and coming back to the main thread topic, if we have millions of people who look for a certain language, we can find volunteers for that language, and your brilliant idea to put notices on the native-language websites proves it. So the problem is how to use our volunteers effectively and motivate them. Ideally, I would like that it doesn't take more than two months between the moment someone volunteers to complete a language and the official availability of a build including his work. Ergo, release more often. This does not require any policy changes. It just requires that we release more often. or at least just release of the language pack, which should be a lot easier to vote on (if needed). If we try to motivate volunteers and to understand where the obstacles are, we can probably make the all languages build virtually useless, since all relevant languages will have been covered. I've just started a discussion on ooo-l10n to check the status of the 19 extra translations for which someone volunteered so far. I hope that this will also help in finding if the current policy can be improved: after all, OpenOffice has (probably) more committers than any other Apache project, it accounts for 40% of all Apache web traffic (downloads excluded!) and if we identify clear problems with the policy we can definitely initiate changes to it. We just need to do some very simple things: 1) When a translation is ready we need to test it. This should be, check pootle server review status, and have one volunteer send an e-mail, that the translation is ok. 2) When it is tested, we need to create 1) a source bundle containing the changed source files, and a 2) a set of binary packages containing the new installs. 3) We have a 72 hour vote on the incremental source package 4) If the vote passes then we put the new binaries on SourceForge, put the new source bundle on the Apache mirrors, update the website and send out an announcement. +1 to you procedure. This is not hard. Maybe some one-time upfront work to create incremental language source bundles on demand. It is certainly simpler than trying to get a policy change. Maybe it would help if someone volunteered to be Release Manager for language releases between our numbered functional releases? Then one person can focus on the major builds, while another person focuses on getting out these incremental translations. If I can get

Script to get infos about development snapshot differences
As we want more regular snapshots it is interesting to know what happened to code since the last snapshot. To get such info automatically I created a python script named svnlog2info.py [1] which creates a html file for such a revision range. For the changes in AOO's trunk between 1405864 and 1418409 run python svnlog2info.py trunk 1405864 1418409 to get something like http://people.apache.org/~hdu/izlist.htm [1] http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/devtools/scripts I hope this tool is useful for our project.

The old user profile is automatically converted so that users can keep their extensions and settings.

First Wiki showed me LogOut page (http://wiki.openoffice.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogout) Probably, new users have some problems when Wiki not immediately shows the data of the user after login, but it can happen in case of any method of the registration. -- Regards, Helen 2012/12/10 janI j...@apache.org: Some users think they need an account just to read, but that might not be the case with these users. Helen: you have the procedure in your head, could you not simulate a new user, and verify it works ? I have no problem with the old automated procedure, as long as sysop understand the risk of a new spam attack (which are higher then 98%, now they know we can be attacked). Jan I.

I think the manual registration for new wiki users is not good. We have created 12 new user accounts since 24 November. These users don't make any edit on the wiki. Maybe they can't edit the wiki pages or they can't login or can't change a temporary password? I don't know. One new user wrote me: now I can't edit wiki with my new account. Other new user wrote: Unfortunately I have not received the email with password. I have checked my Spam folder. I have replied them but I have not result yet (no emails from them). -- Regards, Helen -- Helen

By the way, the original wording is not mine, I used a template. Coming back to the December report, I'll now submit the current draft to the Board. Regards, Andrea.
