This is a useful discussion to have. In my view, applying a documentation string freeze to the serverguide can make sense because translators may wish to translate the serverguide and ship it on their websites (and we may wish to ship translated versions on help.ubuntu.com). If so, translators will need time to do so without more material being added. In this release cycle, there is probably too much new material for translators to have any chance of getting the guide translated in time for the release. However we should give translators an opportunity to comment on this, and we should also resolve the discussion for future releases. It is perfectly realistic to think that, as long as the guide does not change every release to the extent that it has done during this cycle, translated versions can be produced. What do translators think about this issue? Are any translation teams realistically looking to translate the serverguide, or thinking about doing so in the future? -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- ubuntu-translators mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators
