We tried setting up something that would do it this way and I think the
amount of maintenance required is too high. I need to decide on
something (finally) so we're going to go with how meta.wikimedia.org
handles translations.
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Interlanguage_links
It works for wikis that don't have the absolute need for keeping
languages on totally separate instances. It's just as much editing work.
The only disadvantage is that page names aren't in the native language.
If this is a problem with anybody on the *infrastructure* side of
things, please speak now. I'll be talking to the translators list soon.

No problem. The System Administration email list is "Fedora
Infrastructure" <infrastructure(a)lists.fedoraproject.org>, and you can
look over our current 'issues' in our trac
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/
We are working on how we can better get a match between projects and
people so please look around and then email the list with your
questions..

discussions on statistics in fedora: new list, or use this one?
by Ian Weller
(regarding https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2223)
I was going to create a new list for statistics discussions within
Fedora -- datanommer development, requests for numbers from
applications, and general talk about what data should/could be
collected.
The list topic seems to fall under the general topic of the
infrastructure list, so it was suggested that I just have that
discussion on this list. However, I talked with a few people that were
interested in Fedora's statistics projects and they were more keen on
joining a list just for stats discussions.
I don't particularly care one way or another, so I'd like to know if you
all are OK with having these sorts of discussions on this list. I'm not
sure how much noise to anticipate.

Well I can't help you much. I supposedly am sending this from a linux
system. I think you will need to look at whitelisting
fedoraproject.org at the moment as it can not have an SPF record of
its own.

Mail forwarding issues and SPF
by Stephen John Smoogen
Red Hat IT forwarded an issue to me today about a recipient of
@fedoraproject.org having an issue with addresses from @redhat.com.
The issue is that in forwarding email addresses we aren't rewriting
headers so it looks like we are sending redhat.com addresses from a
non Red Hat server. The suggested fix is to have procmail rewrite the
envelope for these to say soemthing like From
noreply(a)fedoraproject.org so that SPF and similar filters can work.

Sorry, I did not know. I just wanted to test how my package compiles
on a secondary test platform.
Apology for the attempt made in mistake.
