A list for D-W translators
I still think this is worth-while. Yes, we have some female
translators currently functioning on debian-i18n and similar, but not
many. I have heard from women who would be interested in getting into
translation, and starting with D-W, but from unpleasant experiences
or lack of confidence, do not yet feel comfortable about discussing
these issues on the main i18n lists (or getting into main i18n at
all), or discussing them here, where that isn't the main interest of
all members.
I'm only trying to do this, in order to provide a specific example of
what D-W does, for a specific group. My aim is to get the barriers
out of the way by using that group to address them, and thus support
and mentor others into the main i18n field. I don't think this
breaches any of the D-W aims. I suppose I could do it elsewhere, but
this seemed like the right place.
Those translators who _are_ comfortable on the main lists would be
welcome to do the same as I plan to do: encourage new female
translators on this sub-D-W list. Dropping in occasionally and
sharing some ideas or experience would be very helpful.
