I'm also confused by the "Translator" field. For the anaconda sv.po,
it's filled in with a name I've never heard of before. Even worse, this
person's e-mail address is a Danish one, and the domain part is a very
dirty word in Swedish...
That would be the person who currently has anaconda assigned.
Since 2000, I've been working from scratch on doing translations
for Red
Hat and now Fedora, with the goal of keeping them high quality and 100%
for every release. We're currently two persons doing this work, and
we've managed to do exactly this for a *lot* of releases by this time.
We've recieved quite a lot of positive feedback about the quality, too.
Thus it's not really exciting to see that any random bozo can suddenly
take over control over a Swedish translation and fill in dirty words.
I'm not amused.
Do you want me to not give someone access because s/he's got a danish
email address and the domain name is a dirty word? Regardless of how
fluent this person may be in swedish, and how much this person would
like to participate? Do you know for a fact that this persons
translations are bad? If so, let me know, and I disable this persons access.
I understand what you're saying, but I cannot at all agree with it in a
general sense. If you wish, I can make you the maintainer of every
swedish file, then you will even be notified if anyone commits a swedish
file. And while in a few languages it may be reasonable to not just give
anyone cvs access, in a lot it isn't, since there is noone who could
judge who should have access and who shouldn't. I personally prefer to
trust anyone to do the right thing by default, and if they don't, well,
let me know.
