Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Problems with libreoffice.ee
2013/10/3 Heiki Repentinus Ojasild repenti...@fsfe.org [snip] updated. However, since libreoffice.ee http://libreoffice.ee does have useful info in Estonian for users, I would still like to provide a link to it somewhere on et.libreoffice.org http://et.libreoffice.org, although this time with a disclaimer. Personally, I would recommend against that. The site can easily be found using a search engine. Furthermore, in addition to the freedom issues already presented, there has been a lot of talk in some Estonian free software circles that the site is not maintained to a level that would make it useful. Okay, but then wouldn't it be good to make it clear that libreoffice.ee is not in any way affiliated with TDF? Otherwise the (lack of) relationship between et.libreoffice.org and libreoffice.ee would be confusing in my opinion. Would that resolve a part of the problem here? If I have understood correctly that TDF does not actually play any part in the maintenance of this site and simply directed people there, and this redirect has now ended, then I consider the issue, as it relates to TDF, solved. Well, actually TDF did not even direct people there, that was my decision, as I said, because I thought it would be beneficial for users. But yes, that site has no connection to TDF (afaik). Perhaps it would help if you, as a representative of FSFE, contacted the managers of libreoffice.ee http://libreoffice.ee, perhaps they are more motivated to reply to FSFE than to a mere translator. First, I would gladly contact the managers of this site. Could you send _me_ an e-mail with their contact details and a _brief_ overview of the site's background (who? what? why?). Sure, but I don't really know that much about it. Second, localisation is of paramount importance, so you are not a mere translator – you are a translator doing a bunch of great work to make it possible for more than one million people to use LibreOffice in their native language, and you are helping to ensure the continuity of cultural wealth the world knows as languages. Well, I forgot to add sarcasm tags around mere translator :) Best Regards, Mihkel -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: l10n+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Askbot for LibreOffice in your language
I'm willing to do it for Croatian - what should be my next move? Signup to Transifex and translate Askbot?

Those individuals interested to moderate the Askbot for LibreOffice in his own language are invited to step forward. (We will not deploy an AB4LO instance without at least one moderator.) My experience as moderator for AB4LO in pt-BR is less than 5 minutes /day, and the rate of new questions is about 2 new question/days and 2 new answers/day. Your mileage may vary, depending on how active is your national/language community. As example, you can check the pt-BR site at http://ask.libreoffice.org/pt-br/questions/ Note: I had to complete the translation of the AB4LO web interface myself. I had to get a login in transifex and finish the job. Other languages are in incomplete state too. The list of available languages is at this link: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/askbot/ You may coordinate with your translator to get it completed. Why AskBot ? * There were several demands to deploy means of community intercommunication other than mailing list. * To get help thru mailing list, the process is to subscribe/confirm subscription/write mail to ask/wait response/get flood of unwanted other messages/unsubscribe/confirm unsubscription. This is too much 1990'ish. * AB4LO allows you to quickly ask for help, and get responses from your community. Unlike forums, AB4LO is aimed to establish a knowledge base on LibreOffice in your language and provides tools to search for a given subject quickly. * AB4LO is not suited to debates and discussions. Prefer the mailing lists for that purpose. * Askbot also allows you to login thru your OpenId credentials, such as Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc... Chances are that your users will use it frequently. * You also don't get e-mails unless you ask for in your profile. *My experience with AB4LO in pt-BR* As I said, I get 5 minute work as moderator. Most of the job is to edit the question and put in a format of a question seeking answers. I also narrow the tags for a better search. Sometimes people put Basic code in the details and I care to have it well rendered with the internal AB4LO editor tool. I had to close some questions on subjects unrelated to LibreOffice. Almost no spam so far. Some answers had to be demoted to comment and some comments had to be promoted to answer. The kind of questions asked has a good indication on the difficulties users have with LO and tells a lot about the user and the community. As moderator, you are not obliged to answers users questions. We strongly advertize Askbot for LibreOffice in many of our local communications. So, what are you waiting for? Get AB4LO now!!!
