=== Issues with translate.fedoraproject.org ===
=== FLSCo election ===


Over the past week, translate.fedorarproject.org site was bugged by several issues ranging from non-availablity of .po files, submission problems, timeouts etc<ref>https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-November/msg00125.html</ref>. A problem related to submissions over SSH was fixed by the Fedora Infrastructure team<ref>https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-December/msg00022.html</ref>. Additionally, a problem with the ssh-agent setup used by transifex is creating problems related to read/write access on the fedorahosted.org repositories<ref>https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-December/msg00025.html</ref>. These issues may remain for a few more days in view of the limited availability of the Fedora Infrastructure admins attending the FUDCon and the upcoming server move schedule. Meanwhile, any further issues are to be reported directly via Fedora Infrastructure tickets.
After a brief discussion on the mailing list<ref>https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-December/msg00043.html</ref>, an election for a new FLSCo is being currently considered, provided a suitable number of candidates volunteer themselves for nomination<ref>https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-December/msg00066.html</ref>.


Currently, an older version of transifex is being used for translate.fedoraproject.org<ref>https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-December/msg00003.html</ref>, which is awaiting an upgrade<ref>https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-December/msg00008.html</ref>.
