Hi
Release announcements for new releases are a major piece of
information that hasnt been translated and announced in sync unlike
the release notes. Since this adds a lot of visibility to the L10N
efforts, I would like to see us do that from the Fedora Core 6
release onwards.
I have talked to Paul.W.Frields on IRC and there are a few things we
need to take care of.
* Release announcements are usually in a style which doesnt lend
itself well to translation and changing into a more formal style
would make it rather dull. We can workaround that by doing a
alternative formal style announcement that we translate leaving the
current community style announcement untranslated but linking them
together. I had written a release summary for Fedora Core 5 and now
a draft one for Fedora Core 6
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC6ReleaseSummary) which might serve
this purpose.
* After the test3 release we need to decide the location of the
final Fedora Core 6 release notes and link to it from the above
release summary, convert it into DocBook XML format, import into CVS
and make it available for translation.
I am copying Alam and Jesse Keating for coordinating the translation
efforts and making sure that the release summary is linked from the
community announcement. We need to get the ball rolling now.

Release announcement translation
Ok. I am Rahul Sundaram. See
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RahulSundaram for more information about
me.
I have no quick way of knowing if this is spam or somthing from or
relating to the Fedora documents project, so it just looks like spam
to me, since I am not familiar with your name.
I have been here for a few years now. I would expect anyone familiar
with the project to know me.
Spammers are beginning to craft subject lins that look like they
might relate to a forum, etc.
In this case I used a little intuition, but my esp is running a
little thin.
This goes out to everyone out there, and not just you Rahul.
Googling the key words up is a good thing to try when you are not sure.
Rahul
Instead of hundres or thousands of people having to google, or go
somewhere, it makes more sense to have an identifier in the sender
field. For example these identifiers appear in the subject fields of
most forums.
You may have been posting for years, but don't assume that everyone
getting your messages has been associated with the group for very long.
Here are a few examples of identifiers in the subject field from groupes
I belong to:
[GWLUG] OT: Death Star speaker - You have to see it to believe it!
[ctl-linux] Bash test
[LPJC-jobs] Johnson Space Center Job Fair August 1-3 - Clear Lake, TX
All I have to do is look for the identifier, and know that the message
is very probably not bogus.
I get messages from lots of folks in these groupes. I am not familiar
with all of them. Some of them are new.
I know it's not fool proof, but it works for me.
