[11:36] <andrejz> dpm are you there?
[11:36] <dpm> hey andrejz, yes :)
[11:37] <andrejz> i was wondering what ubuntu translation coordinators team does and if you need any help
[11:39] <dpm> andrejz, here you'll find all the info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuTranslationsCoordinators - basically, we do need help in a) triaging translation bugs and b) Managing templates in Launchpad. Do you want to join us? :-)
[11:40] <andrejz> Well i am considering it :) I could help out with templates, i guess. what needs to be done?
[11:46] <dpm> andrejz, awesome :) right now, not much, as we've just released Natty. But generally the work entails managing them in Launchpad: changing priorities so that they appear upper in the list if necessary, disabling them if they are obsolete, approving them if they have been imported for the first time, etc...
[11:47] <andrejz> sounds good. i will apply for a membership and then i can learn how to do it as the cycle passes.
[11:48] <andrejz> i was also wondering what is the status of the universe translations? do you think they will be translatable in launchpad or not (so that i know whather i shoudl bug upstream developers or not ) ;)
[11:49] <happyaron> andrejz: I think you can also think about reorder some items in the template list, :)
[11:49] <andrejz> where is the list and how is it done?
[11:50] <dpm> andrejz, sure, we grant membership to active and knowledgeable translators, so you'd be the right match for the role :)
[11:50] <dpm> andrejz, once you are part of the team you get the permission to modify templates, and you can change their priority field
[11:51] <dpm> you can do this on a template admin page, or on https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+templates (shows all templates for the distro)
[11:52] <andrejz> hm, i don't see "join this team" link here - https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-translations-coordinators
[11:54] <andrejz> also i see many kde packages have a priority of 0
[11:54] <andrejz> is this normal?
[11:56] <dpm> andrejz, it's probably because the priority hasn't been set (so you've identified an area where we need help ;)
[11:56] <andrejz> oh, good ;)
[11:56] <dpm> andrejz, it's because the team is restricted (invitation only), but I can add you manually to it.
[11:57] <dpm> andrejz, let me ask the other team members and then we can add you
[11:57] <andrejz> ok, sure
[12:04] <andrejz> dpm, i have another question. is the universe going to be translatable in launchpad in 11.10?
[12:24] <dpm> sorry for the delay andrejz. We don't have any plan for that next cycle. We discussed that a couple of UDSs ago and while technically possible, it requires changes to universe packages, which are not generally as well maintained as the packages in main. I guess if there is interest for particular packages, and the maintainers are responsive, we could enable them for those selected packages
[12:27] <andrejz> well i was especially considering wine, since developers are very hard to get to
[12:27] <andrejz> right now i am just writing a mail to polish wine translator if he could commit translations to us, since a couple of developers hasve been compeltely unresponsive
[14:03] <dpm> andrejz, thanks a lot for your reply on the serverguide e-mail. As Matthew East opened a separate thread for that, may I ask you to re-send your message, but this time replying to the e-mail with the subject: "Localisation of help.ubuntu.com" and making sure the ubuntu-docs list is on CC? Thanks!
[14:03] <andrejz> ok, sure.. i only have daily digest that's why i am late sometimes
[14:05] <dpm> andrejz, no worries. I just wanted to make sure that the docs team is aware of the reply
[14:06] <andrejz> sent
[14:06] <dpm> excellent, thanks :)
[14:06] <andrejz> it awaits moderator approval on the -docs since i am not a member, on the other hand it might be a good thing to join ;)
[14:07] <dpm> :)
[14:07] <dpm> Mirv, you stated your reasons in the past in favour of a localized help.ubuntu.com. Do you think you could repost them on that thread on the translators mailing list ^^ to see if we can finally get some traction on it?
[14:08] <andrejz> i think it makes sense. in our case some people wrote some good docs, but then forgot to update it
[14:08] <dpm> everyone feel free to chip in to the discussion, and let the translators voice be heard :)
[14:09] <andrejz> i subscribed so i will add something more when i see the replies
[14:16] <dpm> ok, cool
[15:04] <dpm> if any of you guys want to attend - getting started with translating Ubuntu is on right now on #ubuntu-classroom
[15:04] <artnay> sure, why not
[15:04] <dpm> it's Ubuntu Open Week! :-)
[15:04] <artnay> thanks for reminding
[16:11] <andrejz> Does anyone know when the first language pack update is going to be released?
