[translate-pootle] Translate Toolkit & Pootle in the Google Summer of Code

2008-03-18 Thread Dwayne Bailey
** Sorry about the cross posting **

Hi,

Translate Toolkit & Pootle have made it into the Google Summer of Code!
We're quite excited as this is our first year.

You can read the synopsis of our application and selected projects [1]
or check out the ideas page [2].  If you have another project idea then
please discuss it with us on the mailing list.

We're not just looking for students but also mentors.  So if you've
worked on the code and have a fairly good understanding of Pootle or the
Translate Toolkit then you are a mentoring candidate for us.

For a student this is the opportunity for you to:
* implement that missing feature that has always bugged you.
* address some performance issues in Pootle.
* add something cool that helps FOSS localisation to the next level.

Its your chance to make a difference to the localisation tools
landscape.

Not all the users of Pootle (I'm thinking OLPC, OpenOffice.org, etc) are
on these lists so please feel free to tell people in your communities
about our GSoC opportunity. I'm sure there are some good coders who care
about localisation who want to sink their teeth into some Pootle
features.

I would be happy to mentor or to assist in mentoring someone for one of these
two proposals:
 * Pootle OpenID and other data sharing and logging
 * Migrate Pootle off jToolkit
(http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/developers/gsoc2008_ideas)

I am not completely familiar with every detail of the pootle code, but I guess,
it would be sufficient.

Should people who would be willing to mentor or to assist add themselves to the
"ideas" wiki page? Or did anybody think of a better way of organizing it? :)

greetings!
Lars

Hi all,
I have added some of the feature requests that we have been constantly
getting at OLPC at
http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/developers/gsoc2008_ideas#general_improvements_feature_additions_to_pootle.
I'm willing to mentor someone who wants to work on this :-).
Thanks,
Sayamindu
