Italian team facing problems
Hi all, I'm writing this email to expose a problem that I am, and even the Italian team is, facing in this period. I would have preferred to resolve this issue internally, but looks like I have no other choice. First problem: I applied for a translator SVN account in September 2008, asking our coordinator for the go or no-go for my account. Unfortunately, I have never heard back from him, even after writing him more than once (I'm CCing him on this email). Second problem: In our team we have two people with commit rights: one is obviously the coordinator, the other one is Luca Ferretti. In the last period most of the commits (or at least a big part) have been done by Luca, but now we are facing a (big) problem: Luca is without computer (dead broken) for an undefined period of time. This leaves us with nobody with commit rights: I have to assume this since the coordinator is not responding. I raised this problem even inside our mailing list, but I had no answer. Any help or advice you have or would like to share is welcome. Thank you. -- Milo Casagrande signature.asc Description: Questa è una parte del messaggio firmata digitalmente ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n

Let at least one week-end pass before committing anything without his approval. Alessio, you don't seem very active currently. Do you plan to get more active in the near future? Otherwise you should consider passing the coordinatorship to someone else. Beside that, Milo is known to be active in the GNOME/Ubuntu community and he should get his svn account (also for his work in doc team). Christian, could you accelerate the process ?

If it helps any, I'll gladly sponsor Milo's SVN account application based on his documentation work. It would have no bearing on whether he could commit translations directly, but it would get him an SVN account. -- Shaun ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n

I've a limited access to Internet on a Linux machine, so I'm able to perform some commits, but of course I can't use it daily. Milo is continuing updating me about needs and developments of this unfortunate situation. Today I've committed files that was ready; I poked Italian translators to use l10n.gnome.org and upload ASAP their own stuff, but I'll be very thankful to Og Maciel if he would like to help us in committing phase.

So... I suggest Milo applies for a SVN account. The two endorsements posted in this thread should be enough to honour that request.

You might want to send a follow-up email in which you point to the endorsements you have received in this thread (include links to the mailing list archives).

Done what I can do ATM. I have asked the people who offered to vouch to confirm, and I've asked Milo to submit his requested account details.

Milo already got his SVN account this Sunday, based on documentation merits. Now let's keep this concentrated to the Italian translation coordinator issue, because that important issue isn't solved yet.
