  It's my understanding that it would only require software changes.
  
 
 Does anyone know how much work it will be to get the USB host working? I
 will need it to drive a webcam for one of my projects.
 
 Will this be possible?

If not done, you can still use microSD card with micro to SD convertor, right?

Re: Tactile Feedback

 I had mentioned this before, but it didn't get much conversation since 
 it was deep within a thread.  Anyway, since there are no hardware 
 buttons for input, could we not use the vibrator to give a quick pulse

 might go a long way in making hardware keyboard less entry more acceptable.

 Any thoughts?
 

Don't know, should try this first but I would preffer an option to turn this 
off (just like
I turn all sort of key/screen touch sounds off very soon).

  i could find no mention of one in the wiki, either in the hardware

 A) you should have looked harder.
 B) I should have tried editing the wiki harder, to make things stand out 
 more.
 Look at wishlist:hardware in the wiki
 

Yes, it's there and would make a terrific mouse for my laptop ;-)

Translation status and infrastructure

2007-05-08 Thread Doncho N. Gunchev
Hello all,

I would like to help with the translation and have some experience
(we are translating Fedora Project to Bulgarian). What I have done
is to subscribe to this list, create an account in the wiki, got the
sources (Using_Subversion) and can see some *.pot and *.po files
around. My questions are (in short, what, when, where, how):

Is there separate svn repo for the translation?

Is there a procedure to follow (the wiki page is not quite specific)?

Should I have an account for the svn or what's the method to get
the translated .po files back to the project?

If there's no translation infrastructure currently (which makes my
previous questions invalid), I can describe what do we have in
Fedora Project (have some ideas too)...

I see there's a qemu copy in the source. Can it be used to test the
translation? I would prefer to have a real device to see the results
(and waiting to buy one ASAP), but qemu would do also. I have a
sharp zaurus and have compiled and installed a few programs on it,
but the emulation with qemu is not quite successful.

PP: I can start translating after 24.V.2007 (F7 release).
