Re: [translate-pootle] How do I know Pootle is working

2007-10-11 Thread Dwayne Bailey
This conversation does raise the bigger issue of community.  Someone
volunteers suggestions but they get no feedback.  So I think the issue
is less to do with the fact that they need to see the status of the
suggestion but to

1) Give people with suggestion notice that there are in fact suggestions
2) Give feedback to the person when their suggestion is approved or
rejected.

So we're failing here in the community building.

Freidel chatted to see if a quick solution was possible.  I think mostly
he was trying to avoid new work to his already full plate ;)

One ideas was to email to some global address, configured by language 
project as soon as a suggestion is entered.  And also email when one is
rejected or accepted.  You could of course make this very complicated
but that is not ideal.

This just makes me realise that we need to push forward on the work to
break away from jToolkit as that is mostly why we're not doing UI and
related work currently.

I feel that ideas above are hackable if anyone is ready to give them a
bat.

 Hi,
 
  Hi. I signed at translate.creativecommons.org to help translating things 
  about ccHost to Spanish. However, I have no idea if my suggestions were 
  stored, are waiting for approval, dismissed, accepted, returned for 
  improvement, etc. 
 
 you should be able to see your suggestions when you log in and take a look at
 the respective strings. This works, or?
 
 
  Each time I go to the project page I see the same 
  statistics and I don't know how to see my contributions so far.
 
 If I don't mix it up now, you will not see your suggestions in the statistics
 overview (only translated/fuzzy/untranslated), until someone with the
 appropriate rights approved your suggestions. This kind of setup is the 
 current
 default for pootle installations.
 Maybe it could be helpful, to send a mail to the maintainer (?) of the Spanish
 translation of ccHost and ask him to approve you suggestions. (if you think,
 that this is appropriate)
 
 regards,
 L

[translate-pootle] Keeping track of changes (was: How do I know Pootle is working)

2007-10-11 Thread Lars Kruse
Hi,

 So we're failing here in the community building.

Additionally I would think, that the missing reporting features for important
changes also impair potential peer reviews.


Maybe the following thoughts can start a discussion that could end up in a
specific feature request to be added to the bugtracker?


what are possible changes and who would be interested?

1) changing a translations: the previous translator (for a discussion?)

2) adding a suggestions: people with the permission to approve suggestions

3) approving a suggestion: all contributors of suggestions for the translation
string

The language/project maintainers could be interested in all of the above
changes, too.


How to publish these changes:

A) via a recent-changes page (similar to wikis) - filtering for
projects/languages could be useful

B) notification mails for interested/subscribed users

any other ideas?

Lars
