Hi Nilam,
You are already in Committer category. That should ideally mean
active.

Nilamdyuti,
I second your opinion!
But as a work around, before translating any file, do remember to add a
comment in that particular module along with Reserve for Translation
action. This will keep you active in Damned Lies!

Thanks Shankar! :-)

In resume: your user were moved to inactive, but you're actually active;
and you want to contribute.
Maybe the inactive coordinator (Amitakhya Phukan) can move you to
another rank, like committer or coordinator. Or any other Damned Lies
maintainer can do it for you.

Hi,
I Nilamdyuti Goswami (user name: ngoswami) started doing Assamese
translation for Gnome UI from Gnome-3-0 and since Gnome-3-2 I have always
maintained the UI status at 80% or more to make sure it gets released in
Assamese. If the git logs are checked, it will be found that I am the only
active member in the Assamese team who has been sincerely doing UI
translations for the past two years. After Gnome-3-8 was released with 86%
UI translation status for Assamese, I didn't immediately start working on
Gnome-3-10 as it's status was also more than 80% (something like 85% if I
correctly remember). I just kept the master branches updated from time to
time and later on I kept it on hold for some time. Now, since Gnome-3-10
release date is approaching, I thought of updating the important packages.
Although even if I don't do so, it will still get released in Assamese as
the status was 80% when I started updating and presently it is 81%. Now, my
question is why does Damned Lies shows an active member as inactive
considering a very short inactivity time? What will a new translator who is
keen on joining the Assamese translation team think when he visits the team
page? Will not he think that there hasn't been any activity in the Assamese
translation for Gnome since time immemorial? :-) Suddenly his love for his
mother tongue will come into life and he will think about reviving a
already active team (I don't know about others, at least I am doing my
part, this is open source, we cannot force someone to work! :-) ) If some
old mail threads are checked it will be found that a similar incident
happened to the Marathi translation team. The team coordinator for Marathi
had to list down the package names to which he had recently made commits
and provide some other links to prove the new guy that he his active and
that the new guy was misleaded. A bug was also filed in this context for
Kannada translation team:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701190
So, what I feel is that Damned Lies should not show an active member as
inactive so quickly. Moreover, when clicked on the member's name in the
translation team page, the member's contributions should also be shown in
whatever convenient manner possible instead of just showing the Team
Membership. I am not saying that it should show the member's entire git
log! :-) but at least it can show the releases to which the member has
contributed. This will avoid a newbie from getting misleaded and get in
touch with the right person to start contributing.
Regards,
Nilamdyuti Goswami
