IdleOnePendulum: well that is the whole thing. I want to try and avoid over lapping of efforts00:00
Pendulum(I don't know what page you've grabbed, but I wonder if other people could do other sections on the same page)00:00
pleia2I'd think multiple translators is preferred (error checking, making sure no one puts bad things in)00:00
Pendulumyeah, that's why I'm thinking set up the translation page even if it doesn't look pretty while in progress00:01
IdleOnepleia2: I have declared myself as unofficial checker of bad things. I will be reading all the pages and making sure everything is accurate.00:01
Pendulumand then let people know it's there and that you're working on it, it's just in progress00:01
pleia2http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/HowToTranslateWiki00:02
pleia2but it's a million years old00:02
IdleOneheh think I should of actually read the main page :/00:02
pleia2http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Translators also, but again, very old00:02
pleia2these are pages we moved over from wiki.ubuntu.com back in 2007 or something00:02
pleia2when we first got our own wiki00:02
IdleOneI'm sure most of it still apllies00:03
IdleOneapplies*00:03
IdleOneI just want to try and do this as efficiently as possible. I realize that it is going to take time but doubling of efforts will take more time00:04
PendulumIdleOne: obviously I should have just answered "ask pleia2, she knows all." :P00:05
IdleOnehaha00:05
IdleOneI always default to pleia2 :) figured I might try and give her a break00:05
IdleOneand ask someone else00:05
pleia2I should have remembered these pages when IdleOne was talking about this the other day00:05
* pleia2 brain fail for a bit00:06
* Pendulum hugs pleia2 00:06
* pleia2 hugs :)00:06
IdleOnepleia2: it was late when we talked about it00:06
pleia2yeah00:06
pleia2I think I tend to default to "I only speak english, I don't know anything about translations"00:07
IdleOneand the focus of that convo was more about how to include people from other countries who don't speak english into this project00:07
* pleia2 nods00:07
IdleOnetranslation was sorta dumped into it00:07
IdleOne:P00:07
PendulumIdleOne: have you worked on translations for non-UW stuff?00:08
Pendulum(so stuff on wiki.ubuntu.com)00:08
IdleOneAlso, translation of the wiki is great but it still leaves a divide in terms of inclusion into the irc channels and mailing list00:08
IdleOnePendulum: I haven't00:08
Pendulummaybe talk to the team for that to ask what best practice is?00:09
Pendulumalso, issyl0 might know (although I"m sure she's asleep right now)00:09
IdleOneyes I am in the translators channel but it is quiet right now00:09
macoPendulum: im also interested in a11y in general, though my preferred desktop does not have an SP-API stuff :(  well, maybe 10.04 does, not sure if that got into kde 4.4 or is waiting for 4.500:13
Pendulummaco: cool :)00:13
macoi dont actually *know* anything about doing a11y programming, but i'm up for learning00:19
Pendulumneither does anyone else I know00:21
macopleia2: do you have a wii?00:25
pleia2maco: yeah, but I don't have a tv right now00:26
macopleia2: do you have a pink wiimote?00:26
pleia2maco: no, they have pink covers though00:26
macopleia2: pm me your address00:27
pleia2!00:27
pleia2ok :)00:27
nigelbthat was a fun scroll back01:17
IdleOneOk the French version of the UW wiki has been moved back to /Fr to comply to wiki translation standards01:18
IdleOnefar from complete but started01:18
IdleOnepleia2 asked me to discuss in here before editing http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/UWMenuHeader01:58
IdleOnereason against or for?01:58
pleia2I don't really want to add to it - already it is squished when I view the pages on my mini901:59
pleia2what do you want to add?01:59
IdleOneI don't want to add anything01:59
pleia2change?01:59
IdleOneI just needed the link so I could translate it01:59
pleia2oh01:59
pleia2you said "edit" :)02:00
* IdleOne is not going to "change" anything on the wiki. Plan is to have a carbon copy of the wiki and all it's pages02:00
IdleOneI did say edit :/ sowwie02:00
pleia2but yeah, for anything like that you can look at Raw Text and see: <<Include(UWMenuHeader)>>02:00
pleia2or somesuch02:00
IdleOneok thank you02:00
pleia2sure thing02:00
IdleOnepleia2: and if there is anything that would be considered an addition to the wiki i would discuss it here first :)02:01
pleia2thanks :)02:01
pleia2sub pages don't matter much, we want everyone to edit those02:02
pleia2but the main page we like to talk about when people make changes02:02
IdleOneoh I hope I don't end up doing it all myself lol02:02
pleia2especially the header, since it's on every page ;)02:02
IdleOnemain page is almost finished. Sub pages I hope to get help <<poke issyl0>>02:03
IdleOnehehe02:03
pleia2:D02:03
JanCIdleOne: it's about 2am for issyl0, so I guess she's getting some sleep before going to school later today  ;)02:06
IdleOneJanC: yeah, I figured as much02:20
IdleOnepleia2: I am thinking that maybe translating the UWMenuHeader is not a good idea just yet.02:25
* IdleOne will wait on that02:25
pleia2fair enough :)02:25
IdleOneonly because I don't understand the coding enough to have [[Home|UW Wiki Home]] direct to the /Fr page02:27
IdleOnedamn I am getting good at this02:47
IdleOne:D02:47
JanCdoes the wiki have automatic redirects or something like that?03:17
IdleOneyes [[Home|UW Wiki Home]] will redirect to /Home [[Fr|UW Wiki Home]] now redirects back to the home page for wiki-ubuntu-women.org/Fr03:21
* IdleOne is learning wiki editing :)03:21
JanCbut what if a page doesn't exist in French yet?03:21
IdleOneJanC: it needs to be created03:22
JanCso no automatic fallback?03:22
IdleOneat the moment we have /Fr and /Fr/AFaire03:22
JanCI somehow doubt moinmoin is really suitable for l10n  :-/03:23
akgranerso you can see all the subpages that UW has then see which ones you still need to do03:23
akgranerdo you need a list?03:24
IdleOnethe fall back is wiki.ubuntu-women.org  pages will be created as they are translated and ready to be posted. I will keep an eye on the ToDo page aka /Fr/AFaire and when pages are posted as complete or in progress I will also make sure that they comply with the original version03:24
IdleOneakgraner: yes please :)03:24
JanCI was more thinking about how to keep links working properly etc.03:25
IdleOneso I am taking it upon myself to be the "fact checker and no stupid stuff checker"03:25
IdleOneI hope that is not to forward of me03:25
IdleOneany other French speaking members that the team trust is also more then welcome to check my checks03:26
IdleOnetrusts*03:26
JanCIdleOne: in my locoteam, I welcome everybody who wants to do real work, and I'm sure that's no different in the U-W team  ;)03:26
akgranerI'll stick a list of subpages off the main UW page so you can just see them03:26
IdleOneJanC: Oh, I know that this work is appreciated. I just don't want anyone to think that I have appointed myself leader.03:27
IdleOnewhen it comes to the translation of the wiki03:28
JanCpersonally I prefer people to be accepted as leaders instead of being appointed  ;)03:28
IdleOneJanC: I volunteered to do this so I feel a certain responsibility now to make sure it is done properly is all I am trying to say :)03:29
akgranerIdleOne,  thanks for doing these pages :-)03:34
IdleOneit is my pleasure :)03:35
IdleOnebut since you are here03:35
JanCIdleOne: well, you have appointed yourself as a potential leader, let's hope others follow you, and if possible become leaders too  ;)03:35
IdleOneJanC: :)03:35
IdleOneakgraner: do I need to upload the .png to each new page that includes the UWMenuHeader?03:35
IdleOneor is there a way to have them all link back to one central location?03:36
akgranerone sec I'll get you what you need to put {{  }}  in between03:37
akgranerIdleOne, have you seen this - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide03:38
IdleOneI have now :)03:38
* pleia2 grins03:39
pleia2akgraner: bet you never would have thought you'd be such a wiki expert! :)03:39
* IdleOne reminds pleia2 and elky of the promise they made03:40
akgranerpleia2, nope - this love hate thing is becoming more love these days :-)03:40
pleia2hehe03:40
IdleOnekick me in the butt if/when I start to slack03:40
pleia2:)03:40
JanCwikis have always been great, just sometimes the easy editing has some drawbacks03:41
akgranerattachment:page_the_icon_is_on/icon_name.png03:42

IdleOneakgraner pleia2 ping12:59
IdleOneis there a way to set translations/edits to the UW wiki to require approval by 1 or several members before it is allowed to be posted live?13:00
IdleOneby several members I mean that either X,Y or Z can approve the translation.13:18
IdleOnehttp://planet.ubuntu-women.org/ Why does it not have the UW logo?14:01
IdleOne:/14:01
IdleOneI love the Ubuntu logo, for those who don't know yet I have it tattooed on my forearm but it would be nice to have the official team logo on the planet14:02

pleia2IdleOne: when the website was designed, we didn't have a logo17:04
pleia2redesign of the website wasn't a priority when we had fewer volunteers, it will be for the 10.10 cycle17:04
nigelbIdleOne, if you need help with the wiki header btw, let me know :)17:04
pleia2IdleOne: and no, there isn't really an approval queue mechanism for the wiki17:05
IdleOnenigelb: I think I got it figured out. Did you notice something I missed?17:05

IdleOnepleia2: use in what sense?18:11
