Sorry for all this mess (well, we didn't have a decent > flame on Trac-dev since ages, so this is now fixed :-) ). I, and no doubt everyone else in the project, agrees that your contributions are very important. Please stay :-) This turned out to be a long thread, sometimes deviating, and sometimes bringing useful insights. To not leave everything hanging, I'll attempt to summarize some conclusions from my perspective. 1) On the original issue of the thread: The improvements for tagging text for translations are most welcome. Anything that can help make sentences easier to understand and translate in the context of the po file is a good thing. As I've started the nb_NO translation that is what I found as well. Recent code changes to improve strings and extractions seems useful, but if someone that knows could document best practice for text tagging with various examples that would be very helpful - "i18n for developers" would be much needed and appreciated. 2) On the workflow and toolchain: The workflow stays according to the needs of Jeroen to improve and coordinate contributions as before. However, documentation of the workflow and toolchain is good, and others should be able to recreate the exact same results if needed. Up- to-date documentation is enough for now. 3) On committing: Separate changesets are made for feature and string updates in the code base, re-generation of po files, and actual contributions of translations. Try to group text updates and regenerations when possible to avoid flooding the trunk as a courtecy to all that need to review all the action in trunk. 4) On decisions: IRC has its benefits, but important discussions and decisions happens on the mailing list. Full agreement. 5) On working with the project: We've re-confirmed that showing each other respect is a good thing. Although the whole of the trunk is indeed everyones shared responsibility, some are more equal than others in certain areas (Animal Farm (tm)). Everyone on the team should have quite an implicit understanding of what they are and how they change over time. It is not a position of absolute power with immunity against 'prosecution', it just means that we need to take extra care to respect their needs and opinions. Discussion and disagreement really is fine, and quite essential to moving things forward in a project. However, participation and involvement needs to be fun. We're all spending our time on this project because we like the software, the people, the community and for whatever other reasons we have. Please everyone, make sure it stays fun for all involved! :::simon https://www.coderesort.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
