Hi all; As some of you are all too aware, our XML-to-PO-to-published-document process means that the translators who work on one release of a doc do not get credited until the next release. Given how much time, effort, and care that translators put into our massive documentation suite, this hardly seems fair! I've therefore put together a page on the Fedora wiki where we can track and acknowledge these contributions in a far more timely fashion: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_13_Documentation_Translations_-_Contributors I'm including a link to this page in any of our docs that maintains a list of contributors (so far, it's in the Fedora 13 Virtualization Guide and Fedora 13 User Guide, and it will be in the Installation Guide shortly). The idea here is *not* to remove translators' names from the books on which they've worked, but to give credit much sooner than would otherwise be possible, while also making it easier to refresh the list of contributors in the next release. As things stand, each doc lead has had to trawl through the commit logs to update these lists for each release. With this page on the wiki, translators can help out too. Translators: If you have done any work on a Fedora 13 document, could you please check to see that you're listed? And if you start work on another document, could you please remember to add your name? Writers: When you notice a new translation come in for a document that you maintain, could you please check the page and make sure that the translator has remembered to add herself or himself to the list? You will also need to double-check the list against the commit logs in six months' time when you branch your document for Fedora 14 and import any new translators for the book. I know this is still a manual process, but hopefully, it provides greater visibility and more timely recognition for the extremely valuable work that the Fedora Localization Project does on docs.
