Salam to all, as I am bored and I'll go to sleep after nearly one hour I thought I'll write what will happen for the next gnome release on the Arabic translation front.
for the gnome 2.6.x series I'd really like to pass maintainership to someone else a la kernel maintainance, this leaves room for the other person to learn on gnome, makes it also grow in reponsability and make it see how the inner clock is working. I want gnome to be very consistent this can't be the case if any person doesn't really know how the grammar used looks like. So maitaining the series makes sense for that person as it will have a close look on the pos and learn instead of working only on new stuff, which will cause it to make new mistakes. But this will likely happen later in the 2.6 life span or in 2.8 ... For 2.8 , Evo IS in, very likely Gossip the really boring IM client and Totem/Rhythmbox, Ossama and me started work on Evo and we'll sure complete this before summer (wouldn't we Ossama ;)) If Abdulaziz likes the work Evo will be done in less then two weeks! Totem and Rhythm are completed, still we need some bug reporting on them, well it seems it's a Libbonobo problem on which I reported a bug so if this is resolved and if it is really a libonobo problem then the interfaces should look right. Also rumored is the gnome volume manager, an app based on dbus udev and Hal. Simply take this: you plug your Digital camera, a dialog pops up and asks you if you want to import your pics to the Photo Album. Or you plugin your ipod and a dialog asks you about importing music to Rhythmbox... Ain't this crazy?! So for core gnome apps, we have to work on gossip, evo and likely gvm with totem and rhythmbox done. Also in the list the evo data server which is a pendant to evo. ONLY 3 pos!!! with Abdulaziz already working on gossip!!! Well for gnome 2.8 this is all what needs to be done not much eh ;) With the usual rewrite of the already existing pos... (the boring stuff) On the "gnome environment" front: the article on l4a had 210 readings so far, the poll had 200 votes (WOW) many bugs reported, and I'll post an article on the Arabeyes site. Next step is now to subscribe to the french, german and japanese mailing lists. That will be cool ;) But this is only the beginning! yours Arafat p.s: next mail: more on gnome environment and why you still need to buy pants... _______________________________________________ Doc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/doc
