New POT and PO available for Release Notes
by Paul W. Frields
As shown on our schedule[1], the final Release Notes POT and PO are now
available for translation. There have been a few string changes, but
not many -- about 70-75 total. The Docs Project had hoped for the
feature freeze to keep the changes as low as possible, but our
developers have been squeezing in a few last improvements to make Fedora
7 as good as possible. That means our Release Notes had to change a
little bit to match the changes. In a few cases changes are for
readability or to correct conceptual errors.
--==[[ The new PO deadline is 2359 UTC, 02 MAY 2007! ]]==--
Here are the new PO statistics shown as of this commit. The "***"
markings for the locales es, fi, it, pt, sv, and zh_CN are to show that
these translation groups had fully translated the test4 PO before the
final changes were imported. To those locales -- AMAZING WORK! There's
plenty of time for other groups to catch up, with at least 10 days
available for more translation.

Wiki frozen
by Paul W. Frields
The wiki should be considered "frozen" at this point for release notes.
Karsten and I are importing the new material in -- by hand since most of
it is small diffs -- as DocBook XML in CVS. The POT will be ready for
translators very soon, hopefully tonight.

What's right about translation credits?
by Diego Búrigo Zacarão
Hello, all..
I have some doubts about translation credits and I hope that someone can
explain it to me.
1 - About msgid "translator-credits" in all PO files. I suppose we must put
one translator per line, in the form of:
NAME <EMAIL>, YEAR. (right?)
So, where that will appear? I have checked some modules GUI like
system-config-* and I did't see it anywhere.
2 - The same problem above happen on CVS Docs. We have the msgid
"translator-credits" in PO files, but it is't displayed on pages published
at docs.fedoraproject.org. However we have some confused things here,
because some modules, like
mirror-tutorial<http://docs.fedoraproject.org/mirror/>,
shows names of translators as author, cause they were added in
rpm-info.xmlin <colophon> tag. But, in other modules, like
install-guide <http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/fc6/>, this
does't happened.
Then... What's the right thing to do?
Can we put names as translator in rpm-info.xml or not?
Best regards

DUG Included in Base Desktop Installation
by Nicolas A. Corrarello
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I think we should include the DUG in a well-noticeable link in the
Desktop or maybe in the default homepage a link to it, what brings me to
another subject:
Can we make the language of the dug chosen based on the install language?
Is it considered to translate the DUG to all languages? (I volunteer for
spanish (Latin America))
y.s.

OK, I already have the schedule marked to deliver f-r-n on the freeze
date, so this means you're only giving us an extra day or two. Don't
take that as a complaint -- I understand the remainder of the time is
for testing, disc manufacturing, and so forth.
So "feature list fuzziness" or no, AFAICT the schedule we've got up is
very reasonable, based on the release engineering schedule. We still
can do an additional update of release notes for Web only, which may not
be marked yet on that schedule. Any guides merely need to be in place
by release date. Given Jesse's statement above and the need to have a
day or two of allowance, I think our schedule can stand as is.
