writing the translation of the "hat" - the small text
presenting the project on the front page, I fall on problems
we should adress.
May be I'm too unquiet :-), but your advice is welcome.
The text is as follow (this is the version that was sent to
be translated):
TAB1="The
> href="http://en.opensuse.org/Project_overview";>openSUSE
> project</a> is a worldwide community program sponsored by
> href="http://www.novell.com/"; class="external text"
> title="http://www.novell.com"; rel="nofollow">Novell</a>
> that promotes the use of Linux everywhere. The program
> provides free and easy access to openSUSE. Here you will
> find a community of users and developers, who all have
> the same goal in mind—to create and distribute the
> world's most usable Linux."
I have several concerns:
* I wonder if the use of the word "program" in the
presentation text is a good idea. It could make think that
we speak of the Linux code... Better should be the use of
"project", like this:
"OpenSUSE is a worldwide community project... The project
provides..."
*I have also problems with the word "community". At the
moment, "communautaire" and "communautarisme" (at least in
France) are used to qualify groups of peoples locked on
themselves, refusing to mix with others, leading for example
on the extremes to muslims terrorists, a very bad
connotation :-(
However I don't really know what to use as replacement :-(.
May be we could use it, but with some enforcement. For
example, we could use the following text (I cut off the
links for readability):
"openSUSE is a worldwide project sponsored by Novell that
promotes the use of Linux everywhere.
The project provides free and easy access to a Linux
distribution called also openSUSE.
Here you will find an open community of users and
developers, who all have the same goal in mind: create and
distribute the world's most usable Linux."
I know this can seems redundant, but this is our flag, it
must be specially clear.
