Fedora 14 Tasks

John Poelstra informed^[1] the list about the upcoming tasks for Fedora 14. As per the schedule, translation of Beta Release Notes and all guides is currently underway.

Stability Problems for translate.fedoraproject.org

Thomas Canniot from the French translation team put forward a query wanting to know the reasons that have been causing the transifex instance used by translate.fedoraproject.org to malfunction over the past few months^[1]. Dimitris Glezos suggested that in the absence of dedicated sysadmins to monitor translate.fedoraproject.org the Fedora translation platform could be moved to transifex.net^[2]. However, this suggestion was not well received especially since Fedora generally prefers to host its services within its own infrastructure^[3].

Noriko Mizumoto filed a ticket with Fedora Infrastructure to investigate the matter^[4]. Kevin Raymond volunteered to understand the workings that may allow him to maintain the transifex RPM for Fedora^[5].

Power Management Guide

The Power Management Guide for Fedora 14 is now available for translation via translate.fedoraproject.org^[1].

-=== Proposed Process to Make Non-English Documentation Available for Translation ===
+=== Anaconda Translation/Keyboard Test day ===
-The Spanish Translation team has been working with the Fedora Documentation team to prepare a process to make documents written in languages other than English to be available for translation<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/trans/2010-September/007951.html</ref>. The need for the process arose when the Spanish team put forward a proposal to make available a document originally written in Spanish for the Fedora Documentation Project in English. The suggestions all indicate that generation of English POT files would be essential to allow other language teams to translate these documents to their language.
