I have an update that is a potential show stopper. According to this page: https://translate.fedoraproject.org/tx/projects/docs-release-notes/master/ ... building with Publican means no translation using common L10n infrastructure. Each translator would have to 'git clone' the repository or otherwise submit PO files more manually. So that's a patch to Transifex needed for Publican; a few patches to Publican to make it produce RPMs compliant to Fedora Packaging Guidelines; and package freeze is coming very quickly on 14 April. > I'd also like to use the Docs conference room > (2008) on the Talk server[3] to speed through some ideas. Some alarm bells went off last time we used the Talk server and made decisions. I heard from a few people who were surprised about the process and missed the follow-up to the mailing list. I don't think a summary of that discussion quite made it to the list. We have that as a minimum requirement. The issue with using Talk for a regular team meeting is that it raises barriers to participation, segregates the discussion, and has no recording/logging capability. Even if recording were enabled, we would still have the barrier of spoken language being much harder to understand to non-native speakers. Where an IRC log can be run through a translation engine to get the gist of a discussion, that is nearly impossible with an audio meeting. I understand and agree with the value we get from high bandwidth verbal discussions, but is the added value worth all that we lose? - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41
