Finishing F10 Docs & Translation schedules
by John Poelstra 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you all. I was hoping we could do this real time, but I guess that isn't going to work out for now. Maybe we can meet at FUDCon to make sure the Fedora 11 schedule is setup correctly from the start? I built a special report that combines the docs and translation tasks into one schedule if that is more helpful to look at. http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-10/f-10-docs-and-trans-tasks.h… The other schedules are in their regular places using the header navigation here: http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-10/f-10-all-tasks.html Here are the questions and things I am still not clear on. 1) For schedule tracking purposes the primary work products, what work products are {created by the docs team && translated by the translation team}: a) fedora-release-notes.rpm (ALL files inside) b) Installation guide c) ???? --I guess the pattern I'm seeing in the schedule we have so far is that we don't have consistent tasks (or they aren't labeled correctly) for each work product (e.g. create content, review content, freeze, generate pot, translate, translation deadline, publish content, etc.) 2) Other questions referring to the indexes or task numbers here: http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-10/f-10-docs-and-trans-tasks.h… a) What is the deadline for translating the releases notes (26)? Four days seems too short. b) The release notes string freeze did not take place until Oct 17, correct? (25) How does this affect the time needed to translate? c) I thought I saw on docs-list that someone said more time needs to be scheduled for creating the POT file for release notes (24)? How many days should it be? d) There is a string freeze for the Install Guide (31) i) when is the POT created? ii) how long is the translation period? take to translated? e) What are tasks (35) to (38)? "web site" is vague. Thanks, John

Self-Introduction: Christopher Grebs
by Christopher Grebs 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hey there, my name is Christopher Grebs, I'm from Berlin, Germany and I'm 18 years old. I just joined the german translation team to help translating fedora into my mother tongue. I'm not full approved at all but I think It just takes some time to get so. *About me* Well, I'm on an apprenticeship to a IT electronics technician, doing community work is one of my favorite jobs and I'm doing a lot of things there. Worth mentioning skills and interests are these: * quite good Python and C# (Mono) knowledge * A lot of community work for the german ubuntu-community --> I'm member of the german ubuntuusers.de webteam (there I'm mostly responsible for the new portal system Inyoka) --> I just held one presentation on the latest german ubuntu conference But ... enough with my ubuntu work, I wanna help my favorite linux distribution and as such, here I am :-) *Me and the Fedora Project* Fedora was the first distribution that showed my how cool Linux is (this was around the year 2005) and after some experiments with a lot of other distris I fall back in love with Fedora (as of Fedora 7). I just installed Fedora as a project at a school (about 30 clients) and I'm doing some some marketing work in my private environment. *GPG Key* [shoxi@cgquaak translations]$ gpg --fingerprint C06BCF6C pub 1024D/C06BCF6C 2008-01-12 Key fingerprint = 714B 8C41 618A 79CD 8020 AB3A C710 0D1C C06B CF6C uid Christopher Grebs <cg(a)webshox.org> uid [jpeg image of size 4081] uid [jpeg image of size 2392] sub 2048g/3F57E472 2008-01-12 If there are further questions, just ask :-)

Hi list, the homepage module for Fedora 10 still has strings referred to F9: http://translate.fedoraproject.org/POT/docs-homepage.master/homepage.master… Do you know when it will be updated? Thanks in advance! -- "We the willing, following the unknowing are doing the impossible.

[mr] Can't see localize content of f10 release notes for Marathi (mr) locale at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f10preview/mr/
by sandeep shedmake 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hi, http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f10preview/mr/ doesn't reflect the upstream localizations committed by me ( http://git.fedoraproject.org/git/?p=docs/release-notes.git;a=log is also proper). I hope my locale (mr) is activated. Looking forward for the reply..... Thanks & Regards, Sandeep

KiB, MiB etc
by Runa Bhattacharjee 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hi, The Fedora Documentation has references to the following unit of measurements which are different from the more common Kilo(bit/byte), Mega(bit/byte) etc., depending upon context. Kib = Kibibit [1] KiB = Kibibyte Mib = Mebibit MiB = Mebibyte etc. since this was something new for me, I thought I'd like to pass on the message in case there are more people writing the full forms of these acronyms. Please do note the differing usage of capitalizations. hth regards Runa [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibibit (links for all the above and others available from this page) -- blog: http://runab.livejournal.com irc: mishti or runa_b on Freenode, Gimpnet, Mozilla, LinuxChix

Unclear instruction in F10 Release-Notes
by Kiyoto James Hashida 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hi, Guys, I have come across with one passage that is not clear of its intention. It is the part #: en_US/Fedora_Project.xml:56(para) Kbabel entry #722 as follows: ----------------------------------------------------------------- In order to talk on the <computeroutput>#fedora</computeroutput> channel, you need to register your nickname, or <firstterm>nick</firstterm>. Instructions are given when you <userinput>/join</userinput> the channel. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Nick name should be prepared already before you use the Xchat to join any channel. And the instruction which appears when one joins #fedora is not explaining anything about nickname: See below ------------------------------------------------------------------ -ChanServ- [#fedora] "Any advice you read here is provided by individual community members. You should use it at your OWN RISK. This advice is owned by each individual, and does NOT represent the views of Freenode, Fedora or Red Hat" ------------------------------------------------------------------ I don't really want to translate as it says. Shouldn't it be re-written somehow ? Thanks for your attention, James -- Kiyoto (James) Hashida Technical Translator Red Hat APAC Level 4, 193 North Quay, Brisbane QLD.

(heh) The Doc Team is working in git. I would suggest to place the TQSG in a git repository like the other docs (release notes, install guide) just to be consistent. Fabian BTW, I know that you like hg the most, Dimitris

Introducing myself
by Rui Gouveia 11 Nov '08

11 Nov '08

Hi, I'm a Portuguese sysadmin with some interest in programming and in GNU/Linux, of course. I started using Linux in faculty and never stopped since then. My first distro was Slackware, then Red Hat 7, and I never changed from a Red Hat based distro again. I'm with Fedora since the Core 1 release. What a great ride this project is. I've subscribed to this list in November 2007, so I could learn. And now, I think I can contribute! You will judge. I'm starting with translations. The language I'm will translate to is Portuguese. Thanks for you time -- Rui Gouveia Sócio gerente GlobalTek - Soluções Informáticas, Lda.
