Using divisive terms like 'us' and 'them', 'suse' and 'community', and 'not one of us' directly discourages these kind of new contributions, which I consider a major threat to the long term viability and vitality of this project.
It is "them" who is discouraging "us", by imposing things on us without even talking to "us".
You are not helping :-(
Did you seriously just reply to my call to stop thinking in terms of 'them' vs 'us' with "It's not 'us', it's 'them'!" Come on Carlos, don't be silly. Take a step back and realise that this situation is an opportunity to address issues that are in need of addressing Just 12 days ago you posted a dramatic mail to the -factory mailinglist making it clear that Leap was not translated, Tumbleweed has barely any http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2015-09/msg00777.html When I contacted you privately to suggest that you could help organise a solution to that problem you placed the finger of blame firmly at a 'structural and manpower problem' that was 'further up from us' Now, by co-incidence and luck, you have a possible solution placed in front of you, from that very 'further up' that you blame While not perfect, Weblate seeks to address both the structural and manpower problems that we're facing..and you object rather than embrace the opportunity? You can't have things both ways. Either the translation teams old methods are fine and perfect, in which case you were talking nonsense two weeks ago, or the situation is as dire as you made out, in which case I think you should be grateful of all the help you can get from wherever it is coming from and dive in with both feet first into any possible solution. Sure, it requires a change of methods and mindset - but that should be expected, the old methods and mindset weren't working..that much you made clear 12 days ago.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-translation+owner@opensuse.org
