Fedora 11 Website Strings Frozen
RickyZhou announced the availability[1] of the string frozen content for Fedora 11 websites. The translations can be submitted via translate.fedoraproject.org.
Confirmation Process for Translation Commits
A wrong commit for the system-config-printer package[1] initiated a discussion about introducing a pre-commit check on translate.fedoraproject.org. The suggestions list included the inclusion of a 'Revert Commit' button[2], 'diff display'[3], and 'confirmation screen'[4].
Decision Regarding Inclusion of Specspo
As part of decision making process related to the size of images for Live CD/DVD, BillNottingham requested review[1] of a decision to exclude the specspo package due to a lack of updated translations since October 2007 and the uncertainty about the process to submit translations at present. The current maintainer Stepan Kasal apologised for the inactivity and offered to rebuild the package for Fedora 11 with any available translations. Suggestions favoured the retention of the translations but removal of the package from the Live media if space was a constraint[2][3][4]. At present, BillNottingham announced[5] its return to comps and requested Stepan Kasal to rebuild it with the available translations.
