I'm not sure about the "let people add/update their own team sections" part just yet -- all changes to any team's data should be approved by that team's coordinator. Perhaps "feel free to change your team data as long as you're the coordinator for that team". > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > > <i18nteams> > <team lang="th"> > <englishname>Thai</englishname> > <nativename>ไทย</nativename> > <website>http://gnome-th.sf.net/</website> > <coordinator> > <!-- actually, I'm not, just an example --> > <name>Ross Golder</name> > <email>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</email> > </coordinator> > <changenotification> > <!-- example! not real (yet) --> > <email>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</email> > </changenotification> > </team> > <team> > ... Thanks a lot for the suggestion! A couple of points: 1. I think we should try to have two web site entries, one translator-oriented and one user-oriented, i.e. like the distinction between www.gnome.org and developer.gnome.org. It often kind of makes sense to try to seperate translator-oriented information from user information, and some teams have that distinction already, so that information intended for existing translators and volunteering translators is separated from any localized information about GNOME that happens to be of general interest. So perhaps: <developerwebsite>http://www.gnome.se/sv/</developerwebsite> <userwebsite>http://www.gnome.se/</userwebsite> 2. We should try to keep the Bugzilla information as well. Perhaps: <bugzillainitialowner>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</bugzillainitialowner> <bugzillainitialqacontact>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</bugzillainitialqacontact> 3. Some teams maintain more than one variant of the translations; e.g. the Serbian team maintains both the "sr" translation (Cyrillic script) and the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" translation (Latin script). I'm not sure about how that information should be added... Perhaps the simplest thing is just to make cases like that appear as different teams in the database, although they are in reality the same team?
