[gentoo-dev] Gentoo devmanual translations
Hi. I'm iterested in devmanual status. And I'd like to spend some time in making it's translation to Russian as well as adding/fixing bugs on english text. I don't wanna to improve my xslt skills, so is there any simple way to add translations to existing xml's? -- Vladimir Rusinov http://greenmice.info/

I am curious, though. I thought that neysx had made all of the desired modifications to guide-xml so that the dev guide could be translated to standard guide-xml.

For what it's worth, I never suspected otherwise. (Nor, I suspect, did ciaranm, although I haven't asked him.) Despite the lack of any intentional malice, however, I do happen to believe that removing the author list from the front page is a serious error that is worth fixing. Giving people appropriate credit for writing documentation is just the right thing to do, and that credit shouldn't be buried somewhere. Indeed, my recollection was that a fair amount of thought went into where the author list should go when drobbins created our documentation XSL. That said, I would certainly agree that a long list of authors, with one author per line, down the center of the page would, indeed, not look so good. A simple set of names (with links to the contributors page which provides additional detail, perhaps) would suffice, I'd think: Authors --- Ciaran McCreesh, Grant Goodyear, Aaron Walker, Robert Coie, Tom Martin, Paul Varner, Ilya Volynets-Evenbakh, Diego Patteno Fernando J. Pareda, Simon Stelling, Alin Dobre, and Joseph Jezak Seem reasonable? -g2boojum- -- Grant Goodyear Gentoo Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76 pgpnsnhtBOAF8.pgp Description: PGP signature

If you think we should change something, just ask politely. It really isn't that difficult. I changed "Authors" to be "Editors". I hope that will kill some of the controversy. Ciaran, we recognized you on the front page and appreciate everything you did. We cut the author list from the front page because it was getting incredibly long and we didn't feel it should take up that much room. The only reason Tim and myself are listed there is because we are the ones maintaining it now, and want people to be able to easily find who they should contact about changes. -- Mark Loeser - Gentoo Developer (cpp gcc-porting qa toolchain x86) email - halcy0n AT gentoo DOT org mark AT halcy0n DOT com web - http://dev.gentoo.org/~halcy0n/ http://www.halcy0n.com pgpMFm41sEwsG.pgp Description: PGP signature

How was the conversion done?

You are entirely welcome. You should probably read section 4c of the licence, however, particularly the part saying: "at a minimum such credit will appear where any other comparable authorship credit appears and in a manner at least as prominent as such other comparable authorship credit." Your treatment of the Authors list that used to be on the main page is at best highly dubious... -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail: ciaran dot mccreesh at blueyonder.co.uk -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Big thanks to Ciaran for organizing the original effort and writing much of the material, Tim for continuing to maintain it, as well as all the other contributors!

[gentoo-dev] Gentoo Devmanual
At long last the devmanual is official. You can find it at http://devmanual.gentoo.org. I would like to thank plasmaroo for helping me with converting it to XML (since he did all of the XSL work to add in the features we needed to make it easy to write and expand upon). If anyone finds any errors in the manual, would like to add new content, or if you have suggestions on how to make the manual better, please email plasmaroo and myself. We are happy to entertain suggestions. I plan on keeping the devmanual as up to date as possible, and making it easy for people to find what should be considered "policies" that are outlined in the document. We will be working on that in the next week or two.
