Re: [board-discuss] Translation as part of the attic policy
Hi Kendy, Thorsten, all, Thanks a lot for your feedback and explanations, that clears my concerns. As Paolo said, mentioning translation/documentation was confusing me. Cheers Sophie Le 29/03/2022 à 10:18, Jan Holesovsky a écrit : Hi Sophie, sophi píše v Po 28. 03. 2022 v 21:55 +0200: Would that mean that each time a l10n team resign for whatever reason (UK currently in my mind and heart), it will be atticized and need at least 3 contributors who use something else than Weblate to demonstrate their contributions to be accepted again in the LO community? From my point of view, you don't have to worry at all: 1) 'The “attic” is a special area [...] not being actively developed, *can* be stored.' (emphasis mine) => it is up to the l10n community to propose to ESC and Board to atticize something, not that it would go there automatically. If it fits you better not to atticize (eg. there is no risk when incomplete translations are used for production, etc.), I don't think anything forces you to put the particular language to the attic. 2) 'A sufficient number of developers [2] have committed changes', where the [2] says: '1 for small, 3 for medium, and 6 developers for a large project' => if the l10n community decide to atticize something, best if they define the size they'd like to target for the de-atticization. To me, 'small' sounds reasonable for one language. Hope this helps?

I'm flattered by what I assume is this new C*a contraction of Collabora =) Collabora helps its competitors every day - primarily by contributing tons of code to LibreOffice that they can use. Also by working collaboratively with other engineers from competing companies. We give feedback, advice and help on the code - as we do for volunteers - typically in some rough proportion to their estimated contribution. We're somewhat less sympathetic to silly questions (RTM) or to attempts by others to leech our time away to support their needs & customers without contributing meaningfully (as/when/if that happens). As I regularly say: working on the LibreOffice code is fun - and I'd really recommend actively contributing to the code to everyone so they can get a real feel for how that works first-hand.
