Hi Everyone We've been doing chainsaw-hacking on the Translate Toolkit and Pootle code, and we're looking towards 0.9. The general goals are outlined in the Wordforge project roadmap at: http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/wordforge/roadmap
Basically in the past all the code has been fairly ad-hoc, we're moving towards a better API and a more consistent way to access different translation storage systems. We're trying to keep the toolkit functional doing this process, and so we want to do regular releases to ensure that. Our last bug day for releasing the Translate Toolkit 0.8 was a great success, and there are a few new faces around helping to iron things out which is great. For this bug day we'll include Pootle as well... Here's how it will work: The bug day is Thursday 23rd of March 2006 We will pretend to be time zone agnostic, so some people's days won't overlap... We will all gather in the #pootle IRC channel on irc.freenode.net It would help if people have access to CVS so they can quickly test fixes, but if that's too difficult we can try release snapshots as the day progresses (we did this last time). It would be great to provide cakes, but they're hard to transport across the net, so you will have to get your own I'm afraid :-) Any bug gathering before the day will also be useful as it means the coder types can start work straight away. Bugs should be filed at bugs.wordforge.org under "Translate Toolkit" or "Pootle" respectively. It would be helpful if people could install the test framework: follow the instructions at http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/index#testing Procedure: * a bug is filed * if possible, a unit test is coded to reproduce what is causing that bug at the lower level * if it is determined that this should be fixed for 0.9, a milestone will be set * developers will feverishly try to fix all bugs set for 0.9, with tests * IRC will be useful for communicating during all of this. I'll do a preliminary release before the day for those who want to test. I'm looking forward to this; it would be great if people who would like to take part indicate so by adding their names to the wiki here: http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/bugday-0-9 Also please say if anything is unclear / needs clarification All the information I've put here is in that page as well... See you on Thursday!
