The github solution works fairly well, I think. The biggest issue is guessing at how it will appear on the website. for example, I'd love to re-organize the FAQs... maybe by OS, maybe by something else, but I'm not sure how/if nested collapsing menus would work for this, or they'd have to be set up under different headers. There's no real way for me to test this.
However, I know firsthand that adding multiple people to WordPress is a pain in the ass to manage. Plus, how do you vet a new contributor for the first few times, and at what point are they given edit access? I wonder if its possible to have a sandbox installation somewhere with the current theme to play with, and a public (to contributors, anyways) author/editor account? I might even have space to host it if need be. On the translation side, I'm only proficient enough to do Spanish, and Salva has that covered very well, so I don't really have anything to add for that. Oh, also, I'm fezzington. -Federico On Fri, Jan 20, 2017 at 08:48 Dirk Hohndel <[email protected]> wrote: Quick question... I had set up the git repository that reflects the website content at github.com/Subsurface-divelog/subsurface-website hoping that this would make it easier for people to a) improve the text on the website overall - and thanks to Henrik and a couple others (I don't ask for SOBs for the website, so I only know your github names, fezzington and h2sk1) for providing improvements and b) make it easier to translate the announcement and other posts into our key languages. The website has far fewer languages than the app itself; we have most content in Spanish (a HUGE thank you to Salvador), some in German (mein Tauch-Deutsch ist schrecklich), French, Spanish, Portuguese, Finnish, Polish and Russian. But so far the announcement has only been translated into Spanish, and I don't think I've seen any other pull requests to fix the rest of the translations (many of the pages have greatly diverged from the English master pages, according to Google Translate). So I wonder if people just don't have time (trust me, that I understand), aren't interested (also understandable), if this still is too hard with all the HTML and special code for the theme and the shortcodes that allow me to link to the various files and versions. If it's the latter, I'd love to hear ideas how to fix this to make it easier. My assumption had been that this git repo would be much easier than giving people access to the WordPress site... So basically I'm trying to figure out how to get more translations and updates to the existing translations - ideally without over-burdening a small group of people who already do most of the work.
