I also think there is not too much traffic in the main mailing list
yet.
That's why I do not really see the necessity to create another mailing
list.
But I don't mind having this translation-list if some of us find it
useful.

Perhaps a new mailing list is not needed, but I am ok with this if
others
want it.

As per mail thread below, Nicolas and Vicky have been doing some
awesome
work setting up Transifex, and are at the stage where they are about
to
start engaging OSGeo-Live translators.
I think it would be useful to set up an OSGeo-Live translators email
list,
where translators can hang out without needing to being distracted by
the
rest of OSGeo-Live development.
So I'm putting a motion forward to set up an OSGeo-Live translators
email
list. This motion will wrap up during our OSGeo-Live weekly meeting
this
coming Monday / Tuesday (depending on where you live).

Assuming the motion passes, I think we need to ask the SAC to set it
up for
us.

Hi Cameron,
Thanks for the review.
I'll need guidance to set up the new mailing list.
How do I do ? Sending a mail to SAC ? to mail...@lists.osgeo.org
<mailto:mail...@lists.osgeo.org>.?
Best,
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,
Press release is fine. I've made a few changes [0]. I work on the
concept that "Less words get read more". Assume most people will
only read the first sentence or two.
I suspect that it would be useful to set up an
OSGeo-Live-Translators email list, which I suggest setting up
before sending out this "call to action" for translators. Send
something like:
"I notice that you have translated OSGeo Live before. Are you
still keen to stay involved? (I hope so.) We are setting up an
OSGeo-Live-Translators email list, would it be ok if we included
you on the list?"
Cheers, Cameron

Hi Cameron
Here is my first draft email (I also prepared a press release
[4]). Can you review it before sending ?
Best,

Dear OSGeo-Live contributors,
As you might know, we are working on translating OSGeo-Live
Documentation using the Transifex Platform.
We choose that in order to provide a better translation
experience than the old .rst files and git one.
It will help us doc building process of course, but we also add
machine translation capabilities (thanks to <compagny name>) to
help translators.
It adds a review part too, that was sometimes not possible with
the old system (when the merger didn't speak the language), so it
will help us provide better quality documentation.
All that said, the platform is online [1], ready to test. So we
need early translators to battle test it with several languages,
writing systems and such.
We are in the moment where we can start testing the
infrastructure and our first draft of the translator guide [2].
For testing the infrastructure, translated files are needed, you
can translate based on the priority mark, or on the amount of
lines to be translated, or complete a translation that someone
else started, or start with your project. Note that we already
marked files that don't need translation.
Some feedback about the guide is 100% useful. (probably the guide
is more for a reviewer than for a translator)
If the images below don't show in your mail, they are included in
our translator guide [2]
<snip images (and text) to get through osgeo list large email

If you have any question, please join us on IRC or on this
mailing list.
