This is knowledge we have acquired internally by members of our team over a long period of time, rather than a requirements-based systematic evaluation of these projects. I for one have e.g. been monitoring e.g. how Translate Toolkit as well as Gnome, KDE, Mozilla and OO.org L10N communities have evolved over the last 3-4 years. Seeing the increasing 'gap' between state-of-the art in this area and current practices, it was not a rocket-science decision (now that we finally have the resources to do something about it). But I fully see your point, a document or white-paper outlining this would be very useful, and something I will investigate if we could provide as the plans go further. cheers, asgeir _______________________________________________ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list
