Johannes, One of the main reasons I've mentioned the "OLPC Release Set" http://l10n.gnome.org/releases/olpc/ as a potential starting point for localizers is that it represents the Gnome packages that are pulled down by OLPC (typically via Fedora RPM repos) to create the Gnome side of the Sugar/Gnome dual-boot OS image, as well as a few Gnome core infrastructure modules that lay a little deeper in the stack of what is a fairly minimalist GNU/Linux Fedora spin. It's value as a point of comparison is not so much that it is want is needed for an OLPC XO laptop, but rather that it is a module collection that has been culled down by intense size pressures (one GB total storage on an XO-1) and therefore is one specific example of a "minimal" set. I've done my best to keep the packages displayed in the OLPC Release Set current by going through the packages.txt file in OLPC releases as they become available, a pending major release by OLPC is complicating this a little at the moment. I should explain that at the present, time while there is an ongoing transition from GTK2 to GTK3 in the Sugar / OLPC OS stack, I have chosen to only point to the GTK3 master branch versions of packages. This release set is intended to be more forward-looking in terms of L10n needs/wants and not necessarily about back-filling translations on existing releases, although the reality of the situation is that an OLPC release will likely be one or more release cycles back from Gnome master when it goes out the door given that it largely draws from Fedora RPM repos and lags the Fedora release cycle. Taking a look at the libraries (or other packages) included in the OLPC release set might give you some ideas about what it might be worth including in a priority L10n target set. You will need to take into account that given it's focus on children in the educational setting, the inclusion of things like gcompris are driven because they are educational games and not because they are needed to make a minimal Gnome desktop sign and dance. Just a thought for your consideration. Consider it one downstream's very-specific POV as measured by the packages pulled from Gnome. cjl _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
