Hi Youcef,
I can indeed confirm that you have been involved in the Arabic
translation thing,
Ah, finally, someone ;) The thing is that we are *still* involved in it ;)
Last sunday (or Saturday) I did some commits.
Thank you for confirming :-)
but what you are missing here is that the
Fedora translation project has no coordinator, no maintainer.
Ok? You can't just jump up and say "I am the coordinator."
Actually it has, and you can apply to it via the web interface...
If
someone's making troubles for you as a contributor, then Red Hat
people would love to help you resolve the problem, but before
that, you are simply not different from any other possible
contributor which may show up at any time.
Not sure. You mean there's no difference between someone who jumps in and put
his name there because a new system has just been installed and the field was
blank and between a team who did 90% of the translation in the last weeks and
which is *still* translating ? ;)
So please understand,
unlike many other project, this one's not about human factor,
credits, blah blah. PO headers are not about that either,
because they just document the *last* translator.
No, the PO headers list *all* the translators, not only the last one. So
everyone get their credits.
About the 'human factor': when a new system is installed, it should consider
what was already in place in terms of who was doing what. If someone comes by
chance and fills a blank field because the system is very recent (and the
community is not even aware of such a change yet), then the responsible
should say, 'OK sorry, but there's already a team translating, why not
contact them first ?'.
It's not about
credit. You did all the translation, thank you; you're welcome.
That's all.
I'm not asking more than that. But if you do all of the translation and
someone says thank you to someone else than you, then there's a problem ;)
behdad (who has not done any translation on Fedora [yet])
:-)
