John, Karsten, Paul,
Thanks for the warm welcome.
I'm eager to get started, but having trouble getting access to the
documents to be translated. I must be missing something here.
Hey John.
A big "Welcome!" from me too. I hope you have a great time with us folks. :-)
I was able to 'take' the "French (France)
timezones" translation at
http://i18n.redhat.com/cgi-bin/i18n-status using the login and PIN sent
to me via email a couple of weeks ago by
fedora-trans-list-owner(a)redhat.com
So, this raises the Ultimate Question: How many accounts/passwords do we use in
Fedora?
1. Fedora Account System & password for SSH key
2. Wiki & password
3. i18n system
4. i18n Take/Apply web & pin (I didn't even remember having this one...)
5. Mailing lists & several passwords
Anything I forget?
<mailto:fedora-trans-list-owner@redhat.com>, however I then
'released'
it because I would like to have a look at it before taking it. The
problem I'm having is from the terminal. This is what I get when I enter
the following commands (from translator's quick start guide):
[linux@localhost ~]$ export CVS_RSH=ssh
[linux@localhost ~]$ export
CVSROOT=:ext:fcrhuser@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS
[linux@localhost ~]$ cvs -z9 co translate/
Connection closed by 66.187.233.241 <
http://66.187.233.241/>
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages
if any)
[linux@localhost ~]$
You have to substitute substitute the username 'fcrhuser' with the username you
acquired from the following page:
http://i18n.redhat.com/cgi-bin/i18n-signup/
So, to make it simple, we have two systems: The above one (
i18n.redhat.com) and
the Fedora Account System. You will use the second one in most cases. Only for
translations, you will have to use the i18n one.
I read the FAQ and some other documentation, but just can't
figure out
what's missing or not quite right. I don't really understand the
procedure and how this system of accessing documents works yet. Could
somebody give me a hand?
Many thanks,
John
P.S. - I've also tried figuring out how to use IRC to chat on
#fedora-docs, but haven't had any success yet. I'll do some more
searching and googling though...
Open `xchat`, connect on the Freenode network and join #fedora-docs. If you have
any questions, you can contact me on the Jabber network ('glezos(a)jabber.org') or
even msn ('dimitris(a)glezos.com').
Have fun! :-)
