What's got out of control is that the current workflow as described in [1] is way too complicated. I could barely keep up when I was more involved in Trac, now with some distance I see that it's flawed, we need to simplify and automate more. The main flaw was that I assumed that after some time, we'll have an active committer and a team coordinator for each language (the group 1) and that hasn't happened and won't. At this point, I think it's safer to assume that the translators will prefer to work on Transifex, so that this should become our primary source. We should have a mostly automated way to download everything from there (synchronisation point), and commit the result, possibly after the fixes done after checking the translations for well-formedness. If such fixes are needed, we should then push them back to Transifex (possibly overwriting edits done there since the synchronisation point). That's the rough picture. The other idea was to merge all the catalogs for a language in a single one so that we avoid the problems related to repeated work and with the merges [2]. I'll resume work on that soon, but that shouldn't hold on the imminent release... Speaking about that (0.12.6 / 1.0.2 / 1.1.2), I'm ready to give any advice or even build the Windows parts, if needed. So Ryan, Jun and Peter, don't hesitate to ask me if you need anything. -- Christian [1] - http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracL10N/Transifex [2] - https://groups.google.com/d/msg/trac-dev/l5YuG7DysOE/cCyyjsiDBE8J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
