Dear all,

This is a quick note to announce that OpenOffice.org 2.x will soon be
available in Scottish Gaelic (gd).  This builds upon the previous
localisation of OpenOffice.org 1.1.1 which was completed in 2005.   
This

version of the software is currently being used in every Gaelic-medium
and Gaelic-teaching school in Scotland.

As with our previous project, the Scottish Gaelic version of
OpenOffice.org 2 is being funded by the Scottish Government through
Learning and Teaching Scotland.  Our immediate target audience  
consists

of school children and teachers at all levels of Gaelic education.

One of my priorities for this iteration of the project is to  
establish a

proper project website within OpenOffice.org so that work can more
easily proceed on a voluntary basis upon completion of this particular
development phase.  Time constraints and issues around language usage
debate prevented us from properly fulfilling this element of the  
project
brief last time so it is certainly something that is high on the  
agenda

now.

If anyone is interested in the Gaelic version of this software, would
like to help as a contributor or is interested in continuing to work  
on

OpenOffice.org in Gaelic once version 2.x has been released, please
don't hesitate to get in touch with me.

Best wishes


Long time no see! Well, these are good news indeed. John McCreesh must  
be dancing a guigue by now ... at least virtually ;-)
Thank you for your report and hopefully you'll be able to gather more  
volunteers this time.


Cheers,

Charles.

[native-lang] Hebrew OpenOffice project yearly report for 2007

2008-01-25 Thread Moshe Gorohovsky

Hi,

This is a yearly report for Hebrew OOo project year 2007.

Hebrew team released Hebrew OpenOffice.org version 2.2 in May - June
2007, for MS Windows and for Linux Fedora Core 6 OSs. The Hebrew version
includes all the features and fixes from OOo 2.2 and many fixes to
support Hebrew. The Hebrew team submitted all the fixes to Issue
Tracker, although not all the code propagated to official OOo source
code.

This Hebrew release comes with default settings for CTL languages,
with Hebrew fonts (Maxim Iorsh's Culmus), Hebrew presentation
settings, like Hebrew backgrounds, and other Hebrew related
things. In this 2.2 version, the Hebrew OOo team put special emphasis
on importing and displaying presentations in Hebrew.

The Hebrew team maintained active Hebrew web site for OpenOffice.org,
with forums and mailing lists. http://www.openoffice.org.il/
In addition, the Hebrew OOo team maintains active bugzilla bug reporting
site at http://bugzilla.openoffice.org.il/

We had an OpenOffice conference in ZOA house in Tel Aviv in June.
About 70 people showed up. Jonathan Ben Avraham also gave a project 
update report at August Penguin.


I have taken the responsibility for Hebrew OpenOffice.org releases since
the middle of January 2008. I plan to release next Hebrew OOo version
in a few months.

Thank you for this report, I'll upload it with the others. What are  
your plans concerning http://he.openoffice.org, especially in regard  
of the fact that you can open up a wiki here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Main 
 ?


Best,
Charles.
