Looks like the first time this was eaten by the moderation queue, sorry.
Let me try again:
Hi developers
I'd like to request opinions on this bug[1]. This is about developing a
feature in damned-lies to make it easier for maintainers of extra
modules to communicate upcoming release dates to translators. Currently
translators have hard time to decide which extra modules to translate,
as information on their next scheduled release date is scarce. I'd like
to change this situation by making it quicker and easier to communicate
this information.
The base idea from maintainer point of view is this:
We could extend the .doap files in repositories with a new element, so
that you could communicate the scheduled release date of your project by
committing a single line to your project tree. After that damned-lies
would take over presenting the information towards translators.
If you maintain modules outside of the core set, I'd like to hear your
opinion under the bug: would you use this method, would it make it
easier for you to notify translators compared to emailing gnome-i18n? Is
this a technical issue at all, or a "people's mentality" problem?
This is only an idea yet, but without developers approval/interest it
makes no sense to implement it, that's why I'm asking opinions now.
