Sorry if you get the mail twice:
What still *will* change is the list of packages we add/drop from/to
upstreams release. So please keep an eye on that section when
translating. The rest of the notes won't change.
Hey, guys/girls/creatures from Sirius:
The english release notes are frozen now, so we can start translating.
You can find the english release notes at
<http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.1>, where you'll
also find links to the pages where the translations will live.
All of you who are in the wiki EditGroup (those people should know who
they are) have access to those, and all these people here
* VincentKnecht
* PierreReinbold
* PascalMiquet
* DennisvanOnselen
* StefanNeufeind
* CleberSouza
* ManuelWolfshant
* HardyBeltran
* AndreasReschke
* DimitriosIoannidis
* lystor
* AndreasRogge
also have access to these pages. If you are missing from that list,
please drop me a mail.
Please do translate on the wiki, so collaboration with other people is
easier (except if you know that you are the only one working on a
language).
Please try to collaborate on the language mailing lists, also.
If you have problems accessing the wiki, please drop me a mail, also.
Although I'm going to be away for a few hours now.
And: You all can edit on all of the pages: Please try to behave :)
And please do not(!) change the english release notes.
Ah yes: As the english notes are probably going to change over the next
weeks and months - please subscribe to the release notes page, so that
you'll get a mail when something changes. That's the only way to keep
your translations in sync.
And now: Happy translating!
If you have any questions: Drop me a mail.
Cheers,
Ralph
Hey,
somehow we're always running late with those release notes.
But: We have a new idea - living online release notes.
What does that mean?
We are going to split the release notes and have a very short version on
the actual CentOS ISOs - those then point to the *real* release notes on
wiki.centos.org and to some other places on the wiki and www.centos.org.
The real release notes are going to be on the wiki and can be modified
as needed (for example the "Known issues" section could grow during the
lifetime of 5.1). And this is also the part where most of the
translation has to happen!
So attached to this mail are the release notes which go on the Isos.
These need to be translated real soon now (today would be great -
November 22nd 2007 that is, European time that is). Please send those
translations to ralph(a)centos.org.
In the meantime we are going to develop longer release notes on
<http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.1> - these need to
be translated also. And to translate these, all translators need an
account on wiki.centos.org. So please create an account for yourself
(FirstnameLastname - JoeyMiller for example) and send that account name
(not the password!) to ralph(a)centos.org also. I'll add you to the list
of people who are allowed to edit translations then.
This process can take a longer time, these don't need to be complete
when 5.1 comes out.
Short summary:
Please translate the attached text *as soon as possible* and send the
results (please only one result per language) to ralph(a)centos.org.
Please send your LoginNames for the wiki to ralph(a)centos.org also -
otherwise you won't be able to edit the release notes on the wiki.
After that you can begin translating the online release notes.
The CentOS team wants to thank you all for the great work you are
putting into the release (and have during the last release) - you guys
and girls are great.
THANK YOU!
And now start working =:)
Ralph
PS: Please don't reply to this mail :)
