Hi,
Some of you may have heard about the transition to a monthly
newsletter (GMN) instead of the weekly newsletter. We'd like to try
this out for a while to see how it pans out.
This email is a call for translators for the GMN. I'd like to do some
co-ordination to make sure that we publish the translations as quickly
as possible. Here's my plan (I don't know how things were done with
the GWN, so feel free to suggest changes):
1) The GMN is scheduled to be published on the 3rd monday of every
month. Deadline for new articles will be the preceding friday and I
will send a draft version to -core on Sunday.
2) Simultaneously, I will also email -doc with a link to the draft
version, so you can begin translating.
3) There may a few (minor) changes between the draft version and the
final version, but the final version won't be published until Monday,
00:00 UTC. You can push the final translated version whenever you're
done.
4) I will link to http://www.gentoo.org/news/<lang>/gmn/gmn.xml in
every issue. (Note the change in directory - gwn to gmn). The english
version of the GMN index page can be found at http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gmn/gmn.xml
(for translation reference).
Could someone from the docs team make sure that the feeds are still
generated properly? The /cvsroot/news/en/gmn directory has already
been created, but I didn't want to do anything related to feed
generation without asking you folks first :)
Let me know what you think. Thanks!
Regards,
Anant
