Community,
with the new openSUSE Wiki at wiki.opensuse.org fast approaching and just around the corner, we're going to put additional workforce on it to hold the target launch date of June 1st 2010, which is prior to the release of openSUSE 11.3.
./.
2) Multi-Language Concept In order to provide localized openSUSE documentation resources, i.e. wikis to our user community, we currently follow the Wiki Translation Process outlined at http://wiki.opensuse.org/Help:Translation. Time has shown that this concept has several drawbacks both from a initiating and a maintaining perspective. Thus I herewith propose the following changes (the rest will be kept as is):
a) The initial creation of Mandatory pages, so far, has been done within the English Master Wiki and this is suboptimal because it fills up the master wiki.
Thus I propose to create a new languages-server languages.opensuse.org serving as a temporary instance for initial translation efforts. That way, translators have a dedicated sandbox-server to build their localized Wiki prior requesting their own localized instance <languagecode>.opensuse.org. I like the sandbox idea. I guess a new language wiki needs to follow the new scheme we created in wiki.opensuse.org from the beginning, right?
This should indeed be a requirement once we're live with both the English and German Wikis on June 1st 2010, yes! Thanks for pointing this out! Best, R
./. Both the monthly meetings and the shut down of unmaintained wiki I think are valuable methods to offer best information in our different languages wikis.
Due to the current state of the Wiki concept implementation with a target launch date of June 1st 2010 for both the english and the german wikis, I'd like to encourage everyone interested in the discussion to focus on show-stopping aspects within the presented concept. Please step up within one week from now on (until Sun, the 18th of April) with objections. Time is pressing and there's still lots to do, but we're highly committed to push these efforts with additional workforce. The goal is to generate even more fuzz for the openSUSE project with the 11.3 release together with new sexy instances for both the english and german wiki.
I'm looking forward to your comments and suggestions, All together looks like a profound and doable concept. Thanks for creating the concept and open this discussion (even if its not yet a real discussion - maybe due to the broad acceptance of the concept). Best M R
