Hi,
What is the procedure for external projects to request use of the Fedora Weblate instance? Of particular interest is Translation of TuxPaint: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxpaint/ https://github.com/tux4kids/Tuxpaint-Android
Regards, Benson
If it's not directly tied to Fedora you might want to try and apply for a hosted Weblate hosting: https://hosted.weblate.org/about/
It might take a while but you'll get an account that you can manage your localization with and add team members etc.
I'm helping managing some project, if you need any assistance I'll be glad to do so.

Well, it's true, but I wish could have a better answer.

Same for https://translate.fedoraproject.org As main admin, I do first config to help project to get onboard, but I also promote a user as admin.

From my point of view any open-source license project is welcome in Fedora translation platform. They only have to open an issue there: https://pagure.io/fedora-l10n/tickets
What makes us different with https://hosted.weblate.org?
We are a structured community sharing open-source values with experienced translators * Structured community: we have language teams https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N_Teams and a global translator mailing list https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/trans@lists.fedoraproject.org/ * we have open-source values: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/#_freedom
The main question we may ask, is what do we ask in exchange? Fedora community has a budget, part of this budget goes to pay for Weblate hosting.
Do we want projects to respect some rules? Rule examples: * announce translation readiness to translators one week before release? * include translators in credits * allow translation of website and man-pages

Seriously? I had no idea that RH is up for that, I'm so glad to hear, this is great news! How about a dedicated boarding process? Any thoughts?

Basically nothing, and I think it's a great opportunity for many parties, might also take some load off of Hosted Weblate.

It seems as if this whole thing needs some extra attention from the team but these are great news and I can't wait to offer this option to some projects who considered Weblate in the past (once the details are settled). Thanks!

Yes, may be helpful to have some guidelines. Where is a good place for a draft collaborative document?

Well, Red Hat don't really have a choice. Red Hat projects also are hosted by fedora project translation platform, and we don't select what has a clear impact on Fedora and what doesn't.
Hosting non Fedora specific project makes our community growing, which makes us more effective, which also brings benefits to Red Hat.
To show we are mature and consistent with our values, our translator community should be ready to welcome projects who have different technical choices from those Fedora implements.
Simple example: if Perl projects want to get hosted in our platform, I feel like it's fine, whatever Perl is becoming less and less important in our community.
Sensible example: if a packaging system project want to get hosted in our platform, I feel like it's fine, whatever Fedora encourage flatpak and rpm.
It's important we are really clear about this: if it fits our values, whatever the project is, it can be hosted.

Great!
