The  http://linmagazine.co.il translated several GNOME Journal articles
into Hebrew, too. And we had some 'reprints' in English.

I missed the footnote in your mail...

Linux Pratique last year [1] reprinted several journal articles (and, in
fact, had a bimonthly slot open for us for a 2 page article, but the
translator lost interest a little) in French.

Cheers,
Dave.

Coincidentally, I just knew today about
http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/fundraising-list

I guess it is an obsolete list. Can we recycle something from their
activity in the past?

Not only is it an obsolete list, it looks like it was obsolete when
created. There are exactly 3 non-spam/test message/mass mail messages,
all from October 2001. The list never lived.

Cheers,
Dave.

If you look again at what I quoted above my reply, I meant that there is

Defining ungoals?

2006-07-27 Thread David Neary

Hi,

Something I've found very useful in the past when defining project scope
is to define ungoals - things which might conceivably have been goals,
but which we are specifically not going to do.

Ungoals can be very useful in preventing feature creep, but also in
keeping people's minds on what the goals are - our goal, of course, is a
stylish website where information is easily available and of a high
quality for a fairly small number of use-cases.

But are there specific use-cases which we are consciously not going to
cater to?

There was an article I read somewhere about the news.bbc.co.uk site
redesign which seems particularly pertinent... I think it came through
this list a couple of weeks back?

Cheers,
Dave.

a bit of nostalgia

2006-07-27 Thread Gergely Nagy
I was trying to convince a friend of mine to join the revamp, when he
sent me a link to our very first project: the website of the Hungarian
Gnome Translation Project :) The web archive rules!

It's amazing to see what we did back in 2001 (January!). According to a
news item our site is finally on-line, not finished yet, but the release
of Gnome 1.4 is coming soon :)

It was all custom PHP code, written by the two of us (that's how we met
and became best friends).

Some highlights:
- main page with news
  http://web.archive.org/web/20010724041801/ford.gnome.hu/
- the translator's workshop with the option to download
  or edit the po files online
  http://web.archive.org/web/20010815191630/ford.gnome.hu/muhely/
- viewing the po file
http://web.archive.org/web/20010605041308/ford.gnome.hu/muhely/po_load.php?name=bug-buddy
  the crawler was not authenticated, so it is in bug report mode
  (the bug report page is unfortunately not cached)
  logged in users were allowed to edit the po file, 10 lines at
  a time IIRC
- statistics page, DB powered, with filtering
  http://web.archive.org/web/20010602135418/ford.gnome.hu/stats/

It's a piece of history now, that I thought could be interesting to
share. BTW this was waaay before launchpad/rosetta :))
