Native-Lang project: English Project code: en Project level: Level II Project lead: Ryan Singer Project co-lead: Ian Lynch
This is a proposal to start an English Native-Lang Project. This NL project is intended to cover all variations of English. That is, it is not specific to either US or British English, or any other variant. The reason to start this project at Level II is that all of the localisation work is already done for English, allowing the project to immediately get started with grass-roots marketing. For every other language, the respective NL project looks after grass roots marketing efforts (banners, flyers, handing out CDs, etc) and the global marketing goals (like the SMP) are left to the marketing project. Since the MP operates in English, the English language doesn't have an NL project dedicated to this sort of grass roots effort. This creates an unusual burden on English-speaking MarCons and results in missed opportunities in English speaking countries. An English NL project would also help lower the disparity between projects. Right now the OOo project is roughly divided into "English" and "everyone else". An English NL project is a first step towards, eventually, having all languages on the same level, with English as a modular part of the whole, like every other language. -- _________________________ Ryan Singer Editor In Chief, The Sentinel http://foothillsentinel.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
