Ok. Can you please sinplomo announce that you retracted your candidacy? Yes please. If that is the case, it will speed up things, but we will need to hear it from you. You're right that past contributions and track record is a very important, and possibly the most important factor when selecting a coordinator. But it's not the only factor. Other factors that may play a part in the selection is the willingness to follow process and policies, and, for example, provide us with the information that we need and that we have requested. bugzilla account: chahibi at gmail dot com Excellent.

On 7/17/06, sinplomo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I retract my candidacy, good luck Yousef Ok. Thanks. Youssef, I have made you the new Arabic coordinator in GNOME now. I have updated the http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/teams.html page; please make sure the listing is correct. Furthermore, I have updated the component in Bugzilla, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=l10n , that can be used for bug reporting. Please also verify the correctness of that listing. You're most welcome as the new Arabic coordinator. The rules for translator CVS access can be found at http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/RequestingAnAccount , as you can see, you will have to contribute some complete translations and have had them committed to GNOME CVS before you can have an account of yourself. Just send an URL with the translations that you want added to this list and ask for someone to commit the translations for you. When you feel that you've contributed enough complete translations to fulfill the requirements listed on the RequestingAnAccount page, then send an account request as mentioned in the instructions. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask, either here on this list (gnome-i18n) or on the #i18n channel on irc.gnome.org.

Ok, thanks for letting us now know this officially (we, for obvious reasons, cannot treat any GNOME translation team coordinator resignation as official unless it happens on the gnome-i18n list). My only concern was: who is this person? as no name and no further information was mentioned. Will he take coordination away from Arabeyes? - so the question. Well I wouldn't have reacted in any other way anyway unless he/she mentioned that he/she is Mr/Mrs so and so And he/she was in contact with Arabeyes for some time. So normally you should be happy that I still think about you and Arabeyes even if I am not officially part of it anymore... 'sinplomo' still hasn't replied with any of the details I requested (like full name and list of past contributions), but as soon as he or she has replied with the details, I will treat this person as a candidate for Arabic coordinatorship in GNOME. If the Arabeyes project still wants to manage the translations of GNOME, they'd better present an alternative coordinator candidate as soon as possible.

Re: Arabic Team Coordinator
If the Arabeyes project still wants to manage the translations of GNOME, they'd better present an alternative coordinator candidate as soon as possible. Hello, I suggest to be the next coordinator. My name is Youssef Chahibi and participate in Arabeyes. I currently coordinate KDE and work on the wordlist and glossary project in Arabeyes. I am going to follow the needed step to get a CVS access.

Hello, I suggest to be the next coordinator. My name is Youssef Chahibi and participate in Arabeyes. I currently coordinate KDE and work on the wordlist and glossary project in Arabeyes. Ok. Please, get yourself an account in our Bugzilla (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/), and let us know your account name once done (the account name is the e-mail address you used for registering the Bugzilla account). Furthermore, we would also like you to subscribe to this mailing list (http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n) if you have not already done so, since we require all coordinators to be subscribed. I am going to follow the needed step to get a CVS access. A CVS account is a later issue; first we need to solve the coordinatorship. Then the new coordinator can possibly have an account once he or she has contributed translations. Please see http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/RequestingAnAccount . So, to summarize, the current situation is that right now we have two candidates for the Arabic team coordinator position in GNOME; 'sinplomo' and Youssef Chahibi.

Re: Arabic Team Coordinator
(Please keep the list cc:ed. Our policy is that all issues having to do with coordinatorship issues should be presented in public, so as to provide full transparancy and make sure that noone gets special treatment).

No, it is not. Only me. sinplomo wants to contribute in Arabeyes as well. Since he has no previous contributions in Arabeyes, I tought you will have more confidence in me. As 'sinplomo' has not officially retracted his candidacy (nor has he so far given any of the details I requested, but that's a different issue), he *is* still a candidate, until he lets us know otherwise.
