It's very unlikely someone is actively working on those at the moment. It
would be great to go through them and change status for those seemingly
outdated or invalid.

Yes, for English content, edit the files
under /gnome-user-docs/gnome-help/C/.

Hello,

coordinator of the Dutch translation teams (see 1 and 2 below), and team

Since Ubuntu (17.10) has decided to drop Unity and use the Gnome

gnome-user-docs in the Dutch language. I am working at it now, but it
takes time because the strings are much longer than gui translations.

Hi Petr,

Thanks for this information.

In preparation of possibly becoming a member of the 
gnome-user-docs-maint team, I had a look at the buglist (1), to see how 
it works. What strikes me is that some bugs with status NEW are pretty 
old (2013, 2014). Should the status be updated, or does it mean that 
there are still people working on it?


I have also looked at the structure of gnome-user-docs (2). I am not yet 
familiar with the location where files are to be edited, perhaps 
/gnome-user-docs/gnome-help/C (filename.page)? If there is a wiki page 
with instructions, I haven't found it yet.


The best way for me to learn Mallard is by looking at existing user-docs 
pages and copy tags from them.


I will continue to read information on how to become a contributor. If I 
have any questions, I will use this list or #doc.

Welcome to the project! I think the following page for new contributors is
a good starting point and is reasonably up-to-date, though if you spot
something incorrect or missing, please let us know:

Re: New contributor

Hello Sajolida,
I am glad there is at least one member of gnome-user-docs who uses this 
list to communicate with other members.
I have not yet started a discussion on some things that bother me, 
because I had the impression this list is not used very often.

With "elsewhere" you mean perhaps a chat room or something like that?
I will start a discussion in a separate email to this list and we'll see 
if there will be any reactions.

Best regards,
Hannie

Hello,

May I introduce myself. My name is Hannie and I am a contributor 
(translator, reviewer, author) for both Gnome and Ubuntu. I am 
coordinator of the Dutch translation teams (see 1 and 2 below), and team 
lead of the Ubuntu Manual Project (3).


Since Ubuntu (17.10) has decided to drop Unity and use the Gnome 
environment instead, I think it is important to translate 
gnome-user-docs in the Dutch language. I am working at it now, but it 
takes time because the strings are much longer than gui translations.


While translating, I noticed a few things I would like to discuss on 
this list, hence my subscription today.


I would also like to contribute as a reviewer for the gnome-user-docs. I 
am not yet familiar with the workflow, but I am an experienced user of git.

to discuss.
