Additions to talk.fedoraproject.org

RafaelGomes has volunteered to update content on talk.fedoraproject.org and would be creating the .pot file to make it available for translators. Additionally, Lucas Do Amaral has volunteered to add content regarding ekiga configuration that would ensure error free display of the translated content, as had been earlier reported by Richard van der Luit .

Further discussion on the Infrastructure Roadmap

In continuation to the earlier discussion, DimitrisGlezos mentions that the important issue currently is the inconsistent uptime of the system due to the lack of administration resources . He also mentions that adding Publican support to the Transifex instance would be possible with support from the Fedora Publican group. Additionally, he mentions that Transifex v0.5 to be released in March, would have support for Statistics based display as a start to the future goal of supporting all the features of Damned Lies. It is to be noted that FLP uses Damned Lies and Transifex for its Translation infrastructure.

DomingoBecker added a wishlist for the current system, that includes reservation of files for translation, timeout and notification system to the co-ordinator. In a separate thread, FrancescoTombolini voiced his opinion about the lack of the file locking feature and the downtime in the statistics page .

Migration of Damned Lies

AsgeirFrimannsson had announced the imminent migration of the old Damned Lies instance to the new Django-based Damned Lies instance. Damned Lies is used by http://translate.fedoraproject.org for generating the translation statistics.
