Hi! I'd like to announce a new mailinglist: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[1]. It is intended to help the early translators of the DWN about understanding problems and to collect typos in the english original. My hope is that it will reduce the duplicated mails that Joey receives about typos and wording suggestions; and the questions that he might receive when someone doesn't understand what he is writing.
I encourage everyone who takes part in the early translation of the DWN to subscribe that list to be notified about such things and/or be able to help other translators with their problems. The list is *not* about problems like "How shall I write that sentence in language $foo?" -- please use either the [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists for that, or if you prefer I can add a [EMAIL PROTECTED] list to split off that traffic. Please keep in mind though that another list might raise different translations for different Debian specific notions and need extra synchronisation between the two lists. Translation coordinators, please inform your translation teams about that list. If you don't do early translations of the DWN yet and wonder, please read: <http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/contributing>, especially the part about the production cycle. There you can find the link to Joeys CVS[2] in which he does write the DWN. As part of the german team we do it like follows: We add the translation-check header into the alioth CVS stating the revision in Joeys CVS. That way we can diff easily to update to the latest version during the week. We don't have a script yet that does extract that automatically but I guess I will write a short one in the short future. HTH & HAND, Alfie & Ignacio (partly ,) [1] <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/dwn-trans-english> [2] <http://cvs.infodrom.org/public_html/src/Writing/DWN/?cvsroot=infodrom.org> -- > Wozu ein Forum, wenn's Usenet gibt? Forenuebergreifende Suche taete durch die vielen Ergebnisse den User ohnehin nur verwirren -- Alexander Talos in <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
