Migration Phase

Stage 0

Test Instance on Openshift

Period: 4 weeks (2014-07-17 to 2014-08-14)

• This is trial run. Log in with FAS account and create new zanata account, and play.
• Obtain admin access by asking current admin, and construct the interface and find any missing parts.
• File a bug for any history data you want to retain or any feature you want to add. Click Bugzilla template.
• Any unexpected behaviour or test data addition request, contact zanata team via zanata-usrs ML or #zanata channel on Freenode.

Stage 1

fedora.zanata.org (FAS only instance)

Period: n/a

• This will be constructed based on the test instance, and contain only essential items, no history data is imported.
• First every language coordinator creates new account and become your team coordinator.
• Second the coordinators will help and approve other translators to join. There is no auto or transparent migration.
• All bugs filed are evaluated for implementation during this stage.

Stage 2

fedora.zanata.org (FAS only instance)

Period: n/a

• History data and features requested (and approved) will be migrated.

Packages to Migrate

• Transifex Fedora Org
• Transifex dlehman Org
• Transifex jfilak Org
• Transfiex crobinso Org
• Zanata pnemade iok
• Zanata pnemade system-config-language

Concerns

Infra at lists

• Tx moved to proprietary. Our main concern we build fedora with FLOSS/FOSS by using FOSS tools. Move to alternate is supported.
• Two alternates raised: zanata (there are supporters) & Translatewiki (no particular supporter)
• Need developers agreement
• Instance (existing zanata instance or fedora infra to create new?)

trans at lists

• How to migrate existing teams, members and coordinators smoother
• How to separate existing language teams which are independent from FLP
• How zanata deal with translators' credits
• Integration with FAS, ML, Badges and wiki
• Integration with FAS: sign Fedora Project Contributor Agreement
• How hard would be the migration
• Email notification
• F21 schedule
• Pseudo-tree view of projects, whereas in Zanata, we end up with just a

list of projects, where it becomes difficult to find a particular project.

• Explicitly include in the schedule the concept of a parallel run. That is, a small slice of time when the

Zanata instance will mirror everything that Transifex has.
