Fedora 11 Release Notes Discussion
After the announcement last week[1] about the availability of the Fedora 11 Preview Release Notes for translation, a number of translators have put forward their concerns about the difficulty in translating these notes due to vast coverage of content and complicated technical text[2].
As a solution to this, it has been suggested that the Release Notes be restricted to information that is important to general users and useful to migration from on release to another. The additional information about package improvements etc. may be made part of the SIG pages on the wiki.[3]. One of the writers Ruediger Landmann, has put forward the link to the draft version of Fedora 11 Installation Guide for similar feedback.[4]
At present, some of the teams have chosen to either translate the core information, divide the translation work amongst multiple translators or to drop translation for this release.
