Translation

This section covers the news surrounding the Fedora Translation (L10n) Project.

cvsl10n Sponsorship and Listing of Sponsors

As a follow-up to the ongoing discussion about the "cvsl10n" sponsorship procedure, NorikoMizumoto and IgorSoares have put together a page[1][2] with the name of the Administrators and Sponsors of the "cvsl10n" group. IgorSoares suggested the formation of language groups to ease the sponsorship and an aging policy for unattended requests[3]. RunaBhattacharjee suggested if a patch to the existing FAS interface as possible, that would allow addition of the language name when a new member sends a request to join the FLP[4]. ChristianRose also suggested a patch for damned-lies that would allow addition of the "sponsor" information directly on the team's page[5].

+=== cvsl10n Sponsorship and Listing of Sponsors ===
-The discussion about reorganizing the cvsl10n sponsorship process was restarted by [[KarstenWade]][1],  highlighting the long queue of new entrants waiting for sponsorhip. Currently, the policies governing the  sponsorship process for the cvsl10n group do not ensure notification to the language team's co-ordinator of a new entrant, unless informed by the latter. As a result of a precaution taken by the current sponsor against arbitrary approval, the waiting queue has been growing. Suggested changes include, providing all the co-ordinators with sponsorship rights.
+As a follow-up to the ongoing discussion about the "cvsl10n" sponsorship procedure, [[NorikoMizumoto]] and [[IgorSoares]] have  put together a page[1][2] with the name of the Administrators and Sponsors of the "cvsl10n" group.

[[ChristianRose]] also suggested a patch for damned-lies that would allow addition of the "sponsor" information directly on the team's page[5].
-[[KarstenWade]] also suggested the renaming of the admin group to "l10n" instead of "cvsl10n".
