Well, I think it will be user friendly to tell the readers when
translators are not updated. I have not received any comments on my
translator-check (which BTW I sent in after I got in military service four
months ago). But I think this could be used instead of the
<!-- translation xx.xx --> currently used (which is simple to change in the
perl programs that check the translation) and add more information for
users.
Other ideas are:
1.- the DDP should be moved into the site (not where it currently is since
it is neither mirrored nor easily accesed)
2.- the DDP should be adapted to allow for translations (there are currently
some translated documents sitting on CVS but not visible on the web site
IIRC)
3.- we should give *priorities* to the information on the site, so translators
can easily know where to focus first or what to keep more track off.
4.- In order for translators to easyly coordinate their efforts with
volunteers there should be tools for them to control/coordinate the
translations of documents.
I'm surprised to see that the Debian translation coordinator has
set up (http://www.debian.org/~clebars/docs.html) a nice page to coordinate
the effort... ¿could this be reused for other languages?
I now the Japanese coordinator is also working hard... could we have
something that we could all reuse in debian/international ?
Well.. this are some ideas
