And this doesn't feel correct, to me, as we would be leaving out contributors of the translations. I would think that the best way would be to have translators add their name to the author list on their language's translations when translating. This, unfortunately, doesn't work well with Publican. I believe we discussed these problems at the FAD at Ohio Linux Fest and didn't really come up with a good way to do this except to provide attribution via a wiki page and have a link to the wiki page in the document. A little clumsy I think. - -- Eric - -------------------------------------------------- Eric H Christensen eric@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Sparks" sparks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx .... .. .-.. .-.. --- .-- --- .-. .-.. -.. 097C 82C3 52DF C64A 50C2 E3A3 8076 ABDE 024B B3D1 - -------------------------------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJOsKv/AAoJEIB2q94CS7PR8sEP/1rH2ecTxRs1FMOPCw+dEokv I1GfjYhHEI8IMss87Ymeo8AiFpL1kZmZxks0gXEUsy6sIvQI5yk1gHc6lA7oPdRj BQTFS/WGvdCVEW2C0x6Um9WjeflG9jWU/bRWWvk8+t7tF3Gc6GAtRJDlQi9Q0JXD AGv+yMEuZHGgGYgLrQFAtgm/DhIq8BQtIY5ZQrRJDySnlbD62UlyCI+ezFcHM/3M xI2S3ey4creMzqoJBSuWxJpy5gJa5KQ9CBfRSGN9SCRsjvBqUXtAVHknW7QTgblf llAoSRPQq8j5w7uKt1IkcGWOJkMrNdVP5MaugLAi5buNqs8YQzEnPYFpq3xEkcB5 Nxn4uNbzYTC6q5ZbXfjdCwuINHx6WTySbe2XQXCpcE4h8UShxxfSJInGMj+nRn+I B9vPDxdt/u8qAnuh6YGv7GLQ6cDXZ0LHjBMySTZlpHDcrdhs7gx/FFhP6ppIskPx 8YdJRtLV497vgiZO7UGDLlLjvJdKEPa8ywyTmArNlGpRYGzlB1OGSc+VGbu5ddGv 8oTsbDlk6umzo9EsjmVPTw8paOL0E+KLIc2W2eEIMRaKpnlT6jOSdxwPO44x7czI HC//83kBZzH8r/wZ9SWLbcOYTz8bqKOrM8Mr0W3LkVeKW+wP2VjsMdZw9+1uWFP6 wFpciQcqwJZae5eFCors =6ErX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
