Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot. 18:02:04 <Inigo_Montoya> Useful Commands: #action #agreed #help #info #idea #link #topic. 18:02:30 <marja> Let's have an easy meeting tonight, and not do too brainy things :) 18:02:36 <Kernewes> hooray 18:02:42 <marja> grinz 18:03:07 <marja> the meeting topics on the ml were the wiki (todo list) and Calenco 18:03:20 <marja> but I'll first start with the todo's of last meeting 18:03:39 <marja> #last meeting's todos 18:04:30 <marja> lebarhon was going to add light colours to our team portal, which he did well (in my opinion) https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Documentation_Team_Portal 18:04:44 <Kernewes> yes, it's looking nice 18:06:06 <marja> there is probably still some work needed on the portal, putting all needed links in it etc., but we don't need to pain our brains about that 18:07:09 <marja> #action whoever sees a way to further improve our portal: feel free to do it and ask for feedback on our ml 18:07:53 <marja> another thing was, that I would ask Camille about the translation report JohnR receives 18:08:53 <marja> Camille arranged for me to receive them too, now, it is an overview of one line per file that is not up-to-date 18:10:02 <marja> and I find it useful, because it says to which En version the translated file was updated 18:10:56 <marja> Kernewes: grenoya if the above lines are too hard on your brains, I'll postpone the rest of the meeting :) 18:11:22 <Kernewes> you carry on, we'll just sit here with glazed eyes :) 18:11:35 <marja> Kernewes: lol 18:11:44 <Kernewes> seriously, I'm just reading them but have no comments 18:11:51 <marja> Kernewes: np :) 18:12:10 <marja> grenoya: I'm not killing you off with all my talking? 18:12:21 <grenoya> marja: no :) 18:12:27 <marja> grenoya: good :) 18:13:35 <marja> #action marja send a copy of tonight's Calenco translation report to the ml 18:14:36 <marja> #topic wiki - draft for the todo list 18:15:15 <marja> #info papoteur made a nice draft, you can find it here https://wiki.mageia.org/en/User:Papoteur 18:15:54 <marja> #action everybody who is interested: give feedback about the todo list on our ml 18:15:58 <marja> yurchor: welcome 18:16:06 <Kernewes> yurchor: hello 18:16:12 <yurchor> Hi! 18:16:22 <marja> yurchor: are you here for the meeting? 18:16:28 <yurchor> Sure. 18:16:33 <marja> great :) 18:16:48 <marja> let's go on to next topic then 18:17:19 <marja> #topic Calenco - current state of documents and translations 18:18:09 <marja> #info https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Calenco_translations_report is still not fully up-to-date 18:19:11 * marja thinks it is not needed to update versions of files in that table for files that have the original-revision tags etc. in them 18:20:14 <yurchor> +1 18:20:15 <marja> *me because the Calenco translate reports tells every day which of those files is not up-to-date, and to which En version it was last updated 18:22:39 * marja proposed to put an exclamation mark (!) instead of the version for the correctly tagged files 18:23:13 <marja> does anyone have a better idea? 18:23:27 * Kernewes doesn't understand this stuff so can't comment 18:23:42 <marja> Kernewes: np, but thx for saying that 18:24:02 * Kernewes will have to try and find time to learn about it 18:24:40 <marja> yurchor: do you have any ideas about that? 18:25:54 <yurchor> I think that it is not documentation team task. Translators should update their information themselves. Just my POV. 18:26:35 <marja> yurchor: I like your POV (if I follow it, it'll save me lots of time :) ) 18:27:29 <marja> yurchor: do you have any suggestions about teams where translators come and go, like the German team? 18:27:56 <marja> yurchor: the German Calenco translators, I mean 18:29:19 <yurchor> It would be good if the translators inform other followers about their work through German mailing list. 18:30:30 <marja> yurchor: that is a good point.. I don't think we ever asked Calenco translators to become member of the i18n ml for their language, if they weren't a member already 18:31:16 <yurchor> There is no general solution for this. For example, Fedora and KDe ship outdated docs translations though we know that the translations are outdated. 18:31:51 <marja> :-/ 18:32:28 <yurchor> Sometimes it is better than no translation at all. 18:32:35 <marja> yurchor: I agree 18:34:02 <marja> #action marja ask obgr_seneca whether we should oblige Calenco translators to become a member of the i18n team for their language, if they aren't already in it 18:35:25 <marja> if it becomes possible to use the i18n mls for the translation notifications for each language, then such an obligation will be needed when there is more than one translator for a language 18:35:52 * marja does anyone have anything else on this topic? 18:36:00 <Kernewes> no 18:36:22 <yurchor> People should communicate better if they do not want their work to be wasted. 18:36:34 <marja> yurchor: absolutely! 18:39:10 <marja> #action marja (if she finds time) write all our "vanished" translators and ask them to tell where they were with the translation, so that it'll be easier for a new translator to step in and so that their work won't get wasted 18:40:03 * marja does anyone have anything else (on this or another topic)? 18:40:10 <Kernewes> no thank you 18:41:05 * marja hopes some will come back, when they read about their work getting wasted 18:41:47 <marja> #endmeeting
