GNOME I18n Team update, comments

[Simos Xenitellis <simos lists googlemail com>]

Hi All,

Stormy (our executive director, GNOME Foundation) sent an e-mail to
the teams to produce reports of the efforts
for Q2 (April, May, June) of 2009, so that a report can be produced,
similar to what KDE does at
http://ev.kde.org/reports/ev-quarterly-2008Q3-Q4.pdf
Among the multiple benefits of such a report is to communicate further our work.

Stormy nominated me this time to write the text for GNOME I18n. Here
is the text.
Any comments are highly appreciated.
The final text needs to reach Stormy before the 31st July.

“The GNOME I18n team coordinated the translation effort for GNOME
2.26, which was made available on
March/April 2009. Linux distributions such as Fedora Linux 11 and
Ubuntu Linux 9.04 offer the new localised GNOME.
GNOME 2.26 now supports 48 languages, compared to 45 languages in the
previous release.
After the release of GNOME 2.26, GNOME migrated to the Git version
control system for the management of the source code. The GNOME I18n
team is helping during the migration to Git with dedicated
documentation for translators and support through the mailing list.”

Here is a short blurb for the plans for Q3:

“Complete implementation of git commit support through l10n.gnome.org.
Complete implementation of git repository management program.
Continue providing git help to translators as soon as asked”.
