Hallo everybody Even though I am in the process of handing of coordination of the Danish team I thoungth I would chip in.
Regards the number of existing open teams. This could be dealt with easily, but also perhaps not so nicely by simply deciding that henceforth there are no open translation teams, all new ones must be created as something else and all old ones must be changed. The first contact the team, and if no one replies, simply make the team non-open and clear out the list of members (after all if no one replies, they are probably not active anyway). Nomatter how we deal with existing team, I am a string proponent for having it as a rule that translation teams cannot be open. > I like the idea mentioned in this thread about exploring the model used > for LoCo teams: having a set of 'approved' translation teams in order to > have a list with those certified with having a proven quality track. > This would also encourage 'unapproved' teams to aim for 'approved' > status by following a set of guidelines to improve quality. > > * What does being an 'approved' translation team mean in practical > terms (apart from proven quality in translations)? > * Would they be listed as 'approved' in Launchpad? > * Should e.g. language packs only be released for approved > teams (I don't think this would be necessary)? > * Other... I like this idea, but not unconditionally. I would have to be so, that team that are actually doing it rigth, can get through this process with minimal workeffort, so that we don't overburden new coordinators. Second, if we do go ahead and do this thing. I definitely think we should make it so that language pack are only sent out for approved team. Having bad translations, perhaps due to bad coordination, can give ordinary people a bad impression of Ubuntu, before they even start using it, so I think that would be an appropriate measure to try and ensure quality.
