Hi all,
We will face a problem in the near future that will slow us down with
translations on Transifex. Often projects are handled on a group based
permission level aka projects maintains their own translation teams and
are not using the Fedora teams. A coordinator is in charge for the
approval of new members.
There are several projects with a coordinator who is unresponsive. In
this case a new user who wants to contribute have to wait for days/weeks
to get approved. This is not really bringing us forward and is
frustrating for people who wants to get started.
I think that there needs to be something like a "unresponsive
coordinator process" (The package maintainers do it that way). Or an
other approach could be to let other coordinators approve people for
their language to any group.
What do you think about that? I know this is not really a Fedora L10n
issue but many of the Projects translated through Transifex lands in
Fedora releases.
Kind regards,
Fabian
Hi.
There is a simple sanity check for the newcomers to the Russian team. Besides signing up
for a FAS account and signing FPCA, they are given instructions to subscribe to the main
and the local translators mailing lists and send a short resumé to both. Okay, at least to
the local one, to be granted access. Until they do, I may or may not send them an email.
The "unresponsive coordinator process" may need to account for this.
