Hello @ll, not sure, if this list is the right mailing list to discuss this topic, but as it will also affects other translators, I hope it is OK to post here ... ;)
The antecedence of this mail is that someone added a paragraph to our de_DE instructions and ask Florian (F.) for his opinion about it. Florian put me in CC at his answer (as I was the one who did some edits before) to get my opinion. As I skimmed through these instructions, I discovered, that they contain the instructions for version 3.3. Reading the English one (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Install/Linux) shows the same: written for version 3.3 ... I then discovered that there is already a RedMine ticket (https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/issues/1553) and also a bug report (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61936, which is closed because of the RedMine ticket) there. Then I did a little research to find out how other l10n projects handle this: do they write their own instructions or are they using a translated version? After this, I started a discussion on the de@discuss list to get feedback from others on how we should handle this task: use our own instructions but rewrite it version independent (and remove maybe unnecessary / obsolete paragraphs - my preferred one would be the graphical install one ... ;) ) or letting it there as a reference or something completely different ... ;) While waiting for feedback I started to rewrite the German instructions on https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Thackert#German:_Mal_ein_Entwurf_f.C3.BCr_die_.C3.BCberarbeitete_Installationsanleitung_f.C3.BCr_GNU.2FLinux: but also the English one at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Thackert#English:_Draft_for_an_version_independent_installation_on_GNU.2FLinux. What do you think about it? Would it be OK to proceed, so we can close the RedMine ticket? OR do you think it is too much hassle? If I should proceed with my rewriting I would like a. an native English speaker to look for any grammar or spelling errors b. for the different RPM based but also DEB based ones like Ubuntu or Mint I need someone who could test the instructions, if they are correct.
