Hi All,

I am sorry I missed yesterday's meeting, I am at a conference this week.

I have written a longish proposal
(http://www.winglemeyer.org/fedora_docs_proposal/latest/proposal/overview.html)
about adopting an AsciiBinder toolchain.

I've tried to outline the challenges we have today and how I believe
this will get us a new documentation website and process quickly.  There
is a Proof of Concept included with details on how you can replicate my
work.

I'd like feedback and to discuss if we can move forward with this
proposal.  Can we please use email as travel will also prevent me from
attending next week's meeting.

regards,

bex

Hi Brian,

I do not understand, isn't Gnome community is going to move from Mallard to Pintail ? The first tool has internationalization included http://help.gnome.org and the second will have it (soon?).

Is AsciiBinder able to handle it or will handle it ? You described in your documentation how to produce po files, but what about publishing process ?

po4all is a cool tool (AFAIK created by Debian french team), but will our user have a global localized experience ? Easy jump from one language to another, automatic language selection from one do to another, jumping from page to page without loosing current language setting, multi-language based search, etc ?

Is there a need to move quickly to that tool instead of waiting (or helping) Pintail to reach this goal ? If it can't make internationalized content in the coming month, can't we find a temporary work-around ?

I tried searching "Target" in https://docs.openshift.com/ it makes a google research and failed. It also suggest automatic translation from google... Not very motivating for translators ;)

I do not feel comfortable about this publishing tool, while at the same time, we had a good Proof of concept of Pintail at GUADEC. https://media.ccc.de/v/108-unconference-6
It may be just marketing, please tell me :)

Will you convert from docbook to asciidoc every documentation from Fedora 7 ? I remember someone saying this conversion isn't easy.

At last, did you plan a mechanism to make comments for translator ?
Dummy example with C file : https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-glib/blob/master/client/as-builder.c#L89

Anyway, to me, the most important is making update/publish/translate/publish processes easier and smoother. The work you're doing is really needed and good. It can be this tool or another, but I just do not understand the move. Sorry for so big email!
