FLP Meeting held on 4th November 2008

The fortnightly meeting of the Fedora Translation Project was held on 4th November 2008 at 1900 UTC[1]. The important points of discussion were centered around the Fedora Release Notes and Installation Guide Translation for F10, approval of members into the cvsl10n group, FLSCo elections etc[2].

KarstenWade also suggested about introducing a level of completeness for the Fedora Release Notes that would allow individual teams some amount of flexibility while translating them.

DimitrisGlezos announced that the cvsl10n group has grown to 450 members last week.

cvsl0n Approval Process

The current process of approving new members into the cvsl10n process is currently being discussed for enhancement[5]. Due to some recent problems related to submission of translations by unknown translators[6] and other problems related to translation submission, the request for a review of this process was raised again in the FLP meeting last week.

Request for frequent updates of the Status page

A new ticket[7] was filed by RunaBhattacharjee requesting to increase the frequency of updates of the Translation Status page[8] as translators rely heavily on these status pages while coordinating the translation work requirements.
