This is a good point, and I think it would be possible. In this regard, we've been talking about a schedule for translation updates several times at UDSs, but so far no initiative has taken traction, mostly for lack of time and other priorities getting in the way. This is something we definitely need to sort out, and I'd finally like to make it a policy, so I'd very much welcome any feedback on this thread. Things to consider for a schedule: * How many releases' translations we want to update? * How often do we want to update each release (current stable, old, LTSs)? * How many teams would be testing the updates? * Where could we host a public calendar for the updates? We could also discuss this on a meeting. We haven't been running any on this cycle yet, so I'm thinking of scheduling one for next week or the one after. I'd be happy to hear everoyne's proposals. Thanks! Regards, David. -- David Planella Ubuntu Translations Coordinator www.ubuntu.com / www.davidplanella.wordpress.com www.identi.ca/dplanella / www.twitter.com/dplanella
