New POT and PO available for Release Notes
by Paul W. Frields 22 Apr '07

22 Apr '07

As shown on our schedule[1], the final Release Notes POT and PO are now available for translation. There have been a few string changes, but not many -- about 70-75 total. The Docs Project had hoped for the feature freeze to keep the changes as low as possible, but our developers have been squeezing in a few last improvements to make Fedora 7 as good as possible. That means our Release Notes had to change a little bit to match the changes. In a few cases changes are for readability or to correct conceptual errors. --==[[ The new PO deadline is 2359 UTC, 02 MAY 2007! ]]==-- Here are the new PO statistics shown as of this commit. The "***" markings for the locales es, fi, it, pt, sv, and zh_CN are to show that these translation groups had fully translated the test4 PO before the final changes were imported. To those locales -- AMAZING WORK! There's plenty of time for other groups to catch up, with at least 10 days available for more translation. ca: 96/102/353/ cs: 1/9/541/ da: 211/225/115/ de: 113/176/238/ el: 221/254/52/ es: 453/24/50/ *** fi: 454/23/50/ *** fr: 146/199/182/ gu: 108/110/333/ hr: 122/88/341/ hu: 161/390/ it: 453/24/50/ *** ja: 96/198/233/ ml: 0/623/ ms: 40/73/438/ nb: 26/19/506/ nl: 272/13/242/ pa: 164/105/258/ pl: 215/221/115/ pt_BR: 325/93/109/ pt: 454/26/47/ *** ru: 187/199/141/ sr: 112/157/258/ sv: 454/26/47/ *** ta: 0/551/ uk: 187/201/139/ zh_CN: 449/31/47/ *** -- Paul W.

Wiki frozen
by Paul W. Frields 21 Apr '07

21 Apr '07

The wiki should be considered "frozen" at this point for release notes. Karsten and I are importing the new material in -- by hand since most of it is small diffs -- as DocBook XML in CVS. The POT will be ready for translators very soon, hopefully tonight. -- Paul W.

What's right about translation credits?
by Diego Búrigo Zacarão 21 Apr '07

21 Apr '07

Hello, all.. I have some doubts about translation credits and I hope that someone can explain it to me. 1 - About msgid "translator-credits" in all PO files. I suppose we must put one translator per line, in the form of: NAME <EMAIL>, YEAR. (right?) So, where that will appear? I have checked some modules GUI like system-config-* and I did't see it anywhere. 2 - The same problem above happen on CVS Docs. We have the msgid "translator-credits" in PO files, but it is't displayed on pages published at docs.fedoraproject.org. However we have some confused things here, because some modules, like mirror-tutorial<http://docs.fedoraproject.org/mirror/>, shows names of translators as author, cause they were added in rpm-info.xmlin <colophon> tag. But, in other modules, like install-guide <http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/fc6/>, this does't happened. Then... What's the right thing to do? Can we put names as translator in rpm-info.xml or not? Best regards -- Diego Búrigo Zacarão Linux User #402589 USE SOFTWARE LIVRE

DUG Included in Base Desktop Installation
by Nicolas A. Corrarello 20 Apr '07

20 Apr '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I think we should include the DUG in a well-noticeable link in the Desktop or maybe in the default homepage a link to it, what brings me to another subject: Can we make the language of the dug chosen based on the install language?

Re: Virtualization Fedora 7 release notes beat

A day or two after the final freeze even. OK, I already have the schedule marked to deliver f-r-n on the freeze date, so this means you're only giving us an extra day or two. Don't take that as a complaint -- I understand the remainder of the time is for testing, disc manufacturing, and so forth. So "feature list fuzziness" or no, AFAICT the schedule we've got up is very reasonable, based on the release engineering schedule. We still can do an additional update of release notes for Web only, which may not be marked yet on that schedule. Any guides merely need to be in place by release date. Given Jesse's statement above and the need to have a day or two of allowance, I think our schedule can stand as is. -- Paul W.
