Bug#700678: Please reenable the DDTP email interface
Package: debian-i18n
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-l10n-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org
Dear Masters of Infrastructure,
please reenable the DDTP email interface. I'm convinced that this will help
DDTP translation teams with little manpower (all except the Italian and
Danish
ones).
What can be read on the web regarding DDTP (1) seems not to be true at
present.
Copied from (1):
Proofreading and error fixing
Only the DDTSS currently implements a review mode and only sends those
translations to the DDTP which passed a fixed number of proofreads.
Once you notice common typos or other easy to correct errors such as
encoding problems, it is possible to bypass any review process and
to fix
this for all packages at once using a script. It is suggested that only
one trusted translation coordinator collects all these issues and
applies
the script.
Since the proofreading can take a long time (especially if only minor
issues are fixed all the time), it may be an option to just ignore
simple
typos and inconsistencies during the review and to start a check
for all
of these (hopefully collected) issues later. This speeds up the
review and
allows to apply these corrections later in all descriptions.
At present I'm not aware of means to handle these trivial tasks. I would
appreciate very much to get back the tool that I used a lot in the past.
Kind regards,
Martin
