I agree with you, but it's not that easy. I think that information inside h.l.n should be as general as possibile, all the processes of the loco-translators-team should be kept within the resources of the locoteam. h.l.n should probably give newcomers a page with links to launchpad pages of the translator groups where, hopefully, the team should have set up some more specific information, and h.l.n should suggest getting involved with the team and to follow their guidelines. As for the Italian team we too have information scattered here and there, but this is necessary as there are many places people can look into, coming from different paths. We have pages in our local wiki, links in the launchpad page and even a page "Contribuire" [1] (that's translated as "Contribute") in www.ubuntu-it.org with links and instructions on how to get in touch with the team (and also all other Italian teams). We have a local IRC channel for translators; a direct email to keep in touch with the team without having to subscribe to the mailing list, but we decided not to have a board in our forum (as it's a time consuming work keeping the board up and clean and it would have been another thing to look after). As for the "process" to accept new translators, it's more ore less similar to what you've described for your team. We should use more the IRC channel for new translators (and this is something that I'm starting doing in this period). For the actual work, we don't really assign a package/translation to one translator... as Launchpad is collaborative, we try to keep it as free as possibile. The only thing we ask is, "if you want to translate for Kubuntu, please, don't translate even for Ubuntu as KDE and GNOME, in Italy, have different conventions". In this case we really would appreciate the "grouping translations by environment". > It would be nice to hear from other teams leads what they do outside > of Rosetta to ensure that their teams run smoothly, so that we could > reach a common denominator and see if some of these "special" bits of > information can then be added to the UI somehow? Actually I don't know what kind of information could be added to the UI, and even if it's possible to add something without "breaking" the UI... this is something we should really start discussing here.
