Hello,

May I introduce myself. My name is Hannie and I am a contributor
(translator, reviewer, author) for both Gnome and Ubuntu. I am
coordinator of the Dutch translation teams (see 1 and 2 below), and team
lead of the Ubuntu Manual Project (3).

Since Ubuntu (17.10) has decided to drop Unity and use the Gnome
environment instead, I think it is important to translate
gnome-user-docs in the Dutch language. I am working at it now, but it
takes time because the strings are much longer than gui translations.

While translating, I noticed a few things I would like to discuss on
this list, hence my subscription today.

I would also like to contribute as a reviewer for the gnome-user-docs. I
am not yet familiar with the workflow, but I am an experienced user of git.
Welcome to the project! I think the following page for new contributors is
a good starting point and is reasonably up-to-date, though if you spot
something incorrect or missing, please let us know:

https://wiki.gnome.org/DocumentationProject/Contributing

For reviews, I think it is best to start watching the
gnome-user-docs-maint gnome bugs Bugzilla user so that you get all the
relevant bug mail and don't miss any request for review.

Cheers,
pk

Hi Petr,

Thanks for this information.

In preparation of possibly becoming a member of the gnome-user-docs-maint team, I had a look at the buglist (1), to see how it works. What strikes me is that some bugs with status NEW are pretty old (2013, 2014). Should the status be updated, or does it mean that there are still people working on it?

I have also looked at the structure of gnome-user-docs (2). I am not yet familiar with the location where files are to be edited, perhaps /gnome-user-docs/gnome-help/C (filename.page)? If there is a wiki page with instructions, I haven't found it yet.

The best way for me to learn Mallard is by looking at existing user-docs pages and copy tags from them.

I will continue to read information on how to become a contributor. If I have any questions, I will use this list or #doc.

Hannie
