fedora-i18n-bugs list?
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

While giving a talk on Fedora I18n at the Miniconf at LCA, it occurred to me that maybe we should have a mailing-list for fedora i18n bugs [1]. Is this something that people would find useful? The I18n Engineering team at Red Hat have used a mailing-list internally to track all i18n bugs for a good while and it has been pretty useful for that: so I am writing this mail to hear if there is interest in a list to follow i18n bugs for Fedora. There is also the i18n bugzilla keyword which is also useful for tagging i18n bugs (though to date we have not used it systematically). However a mailing-list has the advantage that it receives bugzilla mail when bugs updated (the list would probably be medium volume), making it easier to track issues. Jens

I noticed this entry on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bluesmoon/2512014518/ So, is this issue going to exist on F9 / Fedora as well ? If yes, can this be fixed ? ~sankarshan -- >From Untruth, lead me to the Truth, >From Darkness, Lead me towards the Light, >From Death, Lead me to Life Eternal

Fwd: [aspell-devel] Help Save Aspell From being Removed from Fedora!
by Santhosh Thottingal 06 May '08

06 May '08

Hi all, I am forwarding a mail from Kevin Atkinson, GNU Aspell spell checker author regarding the removal of aspell from fedora. Kevin is CCied. Hunspell is planned as a replacement for Aspell. Hunspell has some bugs related it ZWJ and ZWNJ , ZWSP handling , raised by Malayalam(myself) and Khmer team. But no response in mailing so far..(thread: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=200711010902.41262.… ) I agree with Kevin and I think softwares like enchant can be used as a solution. Thanks Santhosh Thottingal ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kevin Atkinson <kevina(a)gnu.org> Date: Mon, 5 May 2008 04:18:01 -0600 (MDT) Subject: [aspell-devel] Help Save Aspell From being Removed from Fedora! To: aspell-devel(a)gnu.org [This is a part rant, but posting anyway to hopefully get some feedback] Based on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureDictionary it looks like Aspell is in real danger of being completely removed from Fedora in favor of standardizing every applications to use one Spell Checker for every language. Even if it is not the best spell checker for the language. For the English language I strongly believe Aspell is the best spell checker. I'm afraid that other Linux distributions may follow suit and Aspell may become completely unused, even though it is the best spell checker for the English language. More generally I believe standardizing on one spell checker is short cited. While I agree it is stupid to have multiple dictionaries for the same language installed, I believe it is even stupider to only use the same spell checker for all languages to avoid this problem. Instead the best spell checker for a given language should be used for all applications using something like Enchant (http://www.abisource.com/enchant/) If anyone on this list have used Fedora 9 or are more in tune with Fedora development I would like to know. 1) How likely is it that Aspell will be removed from future releases. 2) What if anything can be done about it. Is there anyone I can contact to convince them to make Aspell the default for the English language when at all possible. 3) Am I overreacting. _______________________________________________ Aspell-devel mailing list Aspell-devel(a)gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-devel
