Certainly, no deadline for translations may be good for translators in psychological effect. However, on the other hand, I'm afraid this may cause further delay of translations and as a result, translations will be by no means *new* . You're right...
So, my proposals are:
- Translators don't need to hesitate to publish Light version if they have enough time to translate whole issue. Always it can be said, "It's better than nothing". Full ACK...
- ATM, there are only 2 alternatives for translators, publishing "Full version" or "Light version". In addition to those, I'd propose the 3rd alternative: "Partly Full and partly Light" - that is, translators may choose which articles to translate and which ones not to translate. That sounds good. Interesting aspect...
- Translating may be in a stepwise manner. When the "Light version" is ready, the translator can upload it to their own Wiki and move up his Language in Translations page anyway. After that, they may continue translating when they have time to do. Full ACK...
- Translators can add the articles which they find in the media for their languages to "On the Web" corner in their translations. It may take some time to find those articles by themselves, but those articles are not needed to be translated. ;-) That i meant...
I know most of the translators are volunteers and sometimes too busy for their works and private lives to have time for translating Weekly News. However, I wish translations will be continued in any way, instead of just given up. Yes. We have get new faces in the Team. So it is easyer for him.
Summary: I like your fine-tuning and i'm agreeing it. But as you just written, it is needful to hear other Translators... -- Sincerely yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Ambassador openSUSE Marketing Team openSUSE Build Service Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Project-Blog: http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/saigkill Private-Blog: http://saschasbacktrace.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
