TLE | dpm: hey | 09:24 |
dpm | hi TLE | 09:26 |
TLE | I've just been catching up on the latest HUD news. Is it just me or is the hud-cli interface (or whatever lib is probably coming for the same thing) looking pretty interesting as a platform for translation testing? | 09:26 |
TLE | combining that with the lp interface and we might have some real magic happening | 09:27 |
dpm | TLE, yeah, even before that, I've been thinking of a "translations lens" to search translations and show them in the dash, but right unfortunately I don'T have much hacking time | 09:29 |
TLE | yeah, but I actually meant for lang pack testing | 09:30 |
dpm | oh, I see, what were you thinking of exactly? | 09:31 |
TLE | in its simplest implementation, simply use the hud-cli to get all the top drop down menu items and ask the user if it looks right (translated) | 09:31 |
dpm | nice | 09:31 |
TLE | in a more advanced iteration, use the lp interface to actually check if it is the latest translation | 09:32 |
TLE | I mean, this off course is probably already possible with intrespection or whatever it is called, but the interface code for that written for the HUD just might make it a lot easier | 09:33 |
dpm | yeah | 09:33 |
TLE | oh well, putting a little investigation of that on my ever growing TODO-list | 09:34 |
dpm | :) | 09:34 |
TLE | uh btw, speaking of TODO list, there was this talk about virtualising the (existing and) missing screenshots for the help. I was thinking of trying to hack up some php for that, but that would be easiest done from a webserver that could run a bzr checkout as a cronjob, do you think it would be possible to get our hands on something like that? | 09:38 |
TLE | err: checkout/clone/update whatever | 09:39 |
dpm | TLE, I can ask, but I'm not sure we could get such a server. In any case, afaik PHP is very much frowned upon by Canonical IS, and usually the server tools are developed in Django | 09:40 |
dpm | I'm not familiar with php, but IIRC the complaints I heard were about security issues | 09:41 |
dpm | actually, now that I think of it, we do have a server, the translations.ubuntu.com one. We could perhaps use that one | 09:42 |
TLE | well, server or room on a server. In any case php is just the language that I'm familiar with, and so could hack something up fairly fast (but I actually prefer python so perhaps django would be ok) it would just mean getting familiar with it forst | 09:43 |
TLE | first | 09:43 |
dpm | TLE, if you want to try, I can try to find a server | 09:45 |
dpm | the other reason why I'd recommend django is because it's easy internationalizable | 09:45 |
TLE | yeah, that was what I was thinking, but only of you also think that it is worth it, the idea was to create something like: http://l10n.gnome.org/module/accerciser/help/master/da/images/ for the main doc | 09:46 |
dpm | that'd be extremely cool | 09:46 |
TLE | ok then, I'll have a look at django and access how much time it would take me to get going, then I report back if I think it is feasible, and then maybe you could start looking for server space, no reason to start that now if it is not going to materialize | 09:47 |
dpm | I'll start looking around anyway, it shouldn't take me much time | 09:48 |
TLE | ok | 09:51 |

TLE | dpm: I think I can already now say, that this webpage is going to happen | 16:44 |
TLE | though I must admit that I think django is a massive overkill unless you have real database usage | 16:45 |
TLE | but than I got to fiddle with that also :D | 16:45 |
dpm | \o/ | 16:46 |
TLE | I think I'm about 40% done with the coding of a first version, so it is ok if you start looking for some webspace | 16:46 |
dpm | let's talk later on, I have to hop onto a call | 16:46 |
TLE | yeah I'm going home as well, talk to you later | 16:46 |
dpm | ok, cool, and thanks for doing this! | 16:47 |
