Sorry about the delay in responding. Paul Frields and I collaborated tonight on a response, and I'll be glad to bring you up to speed. On Wed, 2007-01-17 at 16:11 -0500, Paul Gampe wrote: Paul W.

The community created a Wiki page some time ago to flesh this out.[1] The goal is to create a way in which volunteer translators can work more fluidly with Fedora developers (where Fedora is the upstream source) and with documentation. A continuing problem is that neither the Documentation team nor the L10n team is sure what, exactly, they need. But to figure out the exact needs is going to require input from and discussion with the Red Hat teams involved. That needs to happen in community space. Yes, that group said then they had no time to work on Fedora L10n infrastructure. Since Fedora Infrastructure now has resources where RH and non-RH community can collaborate, perhaps L10n is in a better position to seed this upstream work. Things needed: * CVS on elvis.r.c merged over to cvs.fedoraproject.org, including account migration and CLA completion by users (non-trivial). * Port existing Perl Web app to Python so it can be supported and maintained by the community. * Renewed vigorous and committed leadership from Translation Project leaders inside Red Hat, including embracing the Fedora leadership model.[2] This was resolved internally at Red Hat between Mark Webbink and Content Services. It was done to align RHEL docs to be upstream/downstream of content from Fedora, so they both needed the same license[3]. = = = [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DefiningProjects#FedoraProjects [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Licensing/FAQ#RHELDocsLicense -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
