We are thinking that it would be a good to have a meeting of
the Fedora I18n project to discuss various technical issues openly.

Some of the things to discuss include:

- installation package defaults
- input method desktop defaults and configuration (xinput/im-chooser)
- renaming of fonts-* to reflect upstream projects
- adding a IM package group?

I would like to join this.
I have some topic to discuss there:

+ Localized official information for End Users
    - Actually, there is a Japanese Fedora Community called "Fedora JP", but this seems to be dying.
    - End Users need Up-to-date official information in their own language.
    - Translation of official documents is not enough, but language specific information is also needed.

+ Localized configurations, and language specific packages
    - Font configuration for Java.
    - Japanese specific tex sub packages.
    - Language specific packages should be firstly reviewed by local people. (Not directly sent to FE)

+ Translation infrastructure like bugzilla.
    - "Tranzilla" or "go( = lang in Japanese)zilla"?
    - Localized interface for it. (Japanese for Japanese, Chinese for Chinese, etc.)
    - The list of untranslated documents and priority for it at the top page.
    - Translation of documents should be done in one file format. (Is this possible?)
    - Terminology or the guideline should be managed in Wiki.

+ Localized bugzilla
    - Collecting information in local languages. (Not only bugs, but also desires)
    - Later send translated bug-reports or patches to upstream.
    - Maybe, translator should be assigned for each bug report then.

+ Localization QA
    - QA members for every language, mainly for input methods.
    - QA members may send their reports to localized bugzilla to prevent regression.

If you are interested in joining this discussion please reply and let us
know when you would prefer the meetings and also any potential agenda
items.  Obviously it is going to be hard to find a time that is good for
everyone all the time so we might try alternating between morning and
evening in East Asia to give people in other regions some chance to
participate also.

I would like to have the first meeting in #fedora-i18n on Freenode
this week.

Jens
