Docbook-locales Added to translate.fedoraproject.org
Ruediger Landmann announced the addition of the new project, 'docbook-locales' to translate.fedoraproject.org[1]. The strings in this project would provide translations for docbook stylesheets.
Installation Quick Start Guide Added to translation.fedoraproject.org
The Installation Quick Start Guide (IQSG) has been introduced[1] as a new project for translation in translate.fedoraproject.org. This is a smaller book compared to the main Fedora Installation Guide and the translations from either book can be reused in the other.
Fedora 12 Release Notes and Translation Team Schedule Discussion
In continuation from last week's discussion[1] about the Translation Team Schedule for Fedora 12, Noriko Mizumoto and Ankit Patel, proposed further changes to eliminate ambiguous titles in some of the schedule milestones and proposed availability of package and document builds for a 'Translation Review Phase'[2] [3] [4] [5] respectively. The earlier concern raised by Dimitris Glezos about the pre-poned string freeze on the Fedora 12 Schedule were put to rest due to the convention that the Beta Release date is always considered to be the String Freeze date[6].
John J. McDonough initiated a discussion[7] about the some parts of the Fedora 12 Schedule concerning the Release Notes and proposed a modified schedule. Due to the expectation that the Alpha Release would have to be feature ready, a major portion of the Release Notes work is assumed to be complete between Alpha and Beta Release and issues uncovered during the Beta phase would be updated by GA[8]. FLSco member Noriko Mizumoto requested[9] a 'Review Phase' to be included in the proposed schedule to allow translators to review the translated documents.
For both the above discussions, additional phone meetings have also been proposed by Paul W. Frields.
