No, read the long emails. Reading it takes a shorter amount of time than
it takes for you to write this response.
problems as I failed to follow all long emails here. I do not
see any changes in the policys, the only thing happened was
to prevent multiple translators committing changes at same time.
No, that's not all tha thas happened. Read my response to Groh.
I went through Mohamed email and I am not sure where all these
issues came from?
It comes from you objecting for Youcef to become the maintainer of the
Arabic trasnaltion. What gives YOU the right to object, without giving
any reasoning?
I belive that by people establish teams here, things will be
start to shape and take better form. Let me ask first,
when Arabeyes started translation, did they have full list
of things how it should be? Things are still being built and
taking final shape. I belive in the freedom of allowing
people to contribute.
And you are suggesitng that Arabeyes does NOT provide this freedom? This
is a rather unacceptable attack that has no basis and is completely
uncalled for.
The main goal I see here is to provide traslation. Is the
translation provided by certain people will be final and
for good? I doubt! To establish a translation first is the
first step. I belive yet to come a lot of tuning and enhancement.
Yes, I believe Arabeyes has been doing this for long enough to know
these steps.
I am not aginst keeping things the same across all modules,
and similar to other translations. For sure will be great
Oh please. Be against it ;)
to have team like Arabeyes team to contribute. Yet, why
assuming anyone else who would like to contribute would
cause a mess because s/he decided not to be part of Arabeyes.
Ask that question to why anyone would want to join any translation team?
This is a silly question and it has no meaning. If it is because you
hate the Arabeyes project (for your own reasons, you are entitled to
them, so am I, eh?).. and you don't want to be a part of it, but you
want to translate for fedora... if that is the case, STATE it. In which
case, just like I told Groh, I would personally prefer if Arabeyes
withdraws completely from Fedora and wish you happy translating.
So, to keep this discussion constructive, can we discuss
here what are the requirment or the right way someone think
the system should be ? I had hard time to get clear requirment
or request. I only found hey this policy is no good, why
this should be this way. It would be better to be hey
why do not we have things this way.
Perhaps you missed THIS part?
