I think we need to give Marko a hand, or at least some recognition of the huge amount of work that’s being done. It would probably increase participation if we had a chat and then a post on the main WP news sites about GP’s intended future. If so, when/where can we talk?

As a result of the WordPress Contributors’ Summit 2012, GlotPress is gaining more traction as it will become an even more central component of many of the features of WordPress’ future versions.
If you follow Trac, you can see that activity has significantly picked up. We intend to keep it going at that rate, which means that your input is now even more critical than ever. Feel free to submit tickets or patches, or else post here if you have any doubts.
I’d like to specifically call on @fmestrone to pitch in, as he’s been working extensively on a fork of his own (which, I assume, resulted from a lack of activity on GlotPress)

How can I become a Validator for pt-br?

Your question is not directly related to the development of GlotPress. The proper place to discuss translations (rather than GlotPress itself) is on the Polygots’ site.

Glad to pitch in
I’ll have a look at the new issues on Trac. There is one thing that I found is rather important. The translation editor as it is can only deal with translations from one translation set within the page. I have made some changes that make the page much more flexible, so that – for example – I can have a list of all translations by the same user (regardless of project/set) or for a certain language. It might be worthwhile trying to include and improve on my code base for that page…-
Zé
Great! Could you format your idea/patch as a ticket in GlotPress’ Trac, so that the devs can discuss it?

Excellent way of describing, and pleasant paragraph to take information concerning my presentation focus, which i am going to convey in academy.
Zé
I’ve added a ticket to allow anonymous exports of language files (much like you can download WordPress itself without logging in to anything), but didn’t commit, to wait for everyone’s opinion on this.
Lantean
Cool!! i can’t wait to see that feature!
Zé
Milan, I completely agree with this, but we’ll need more hands/eyes to test the patches on the code that has changed, quite a lot sometimes, since they were submitted. Any takers?

I would like to take it, hence and while…
What is the task? -
Juan Ramon
I’ve seen that most issues in the trac are very old. If we review them and upload patches to the trac or we test another patches, it will be merge to the core?
-
Peter
As Juan asked, will reviewed patches be merged into the core? The reason for asking is the fact that you yourself have a trac ticket #164, that is on needs-review for 4 months now.
Is there a development team who approves patches and merges them into the core? I know you can submit to the SVN as can Nikolay of course but who else?-
Zé
Right now, only Nikolay and myself (and Nacin) can commit, so, the question here is how to work out a way for patches to get in to core? I suggest (subjectively) that we do a thourough review and testing of the more pressing patches and commit those. The quality of code of individual contributors should then, over time, indicate candidates for core-committing privileges. Again, that’s just me, all suggestions are welcome.
-
Peter
Sounds good. Do you with “we do a thorough review and testing” mean the 3 mentioned or will there be a review/testing team, or is it just anybody who can say Yes It Works

I do suggest that you and Nikolay setup a roadmap with milestones and assign the tickets accordingly. That way it’s easier to pick up tickets and work on them.Maybe even set Trac up the way WordPress core is setup.

We tried it to do on thursday at 20:00 GMT but failed to make it a regular one. I’m all up to try again and see how we can find a way to make the development to GlotPress more continues.

Making it regular might not be necessary, at this point, but we should certainly try to schedule one soon, if everyone’s up for it.
cfoellmann 10:53 am on May 20, 2013 Permalink |
Just set a date and I will try hard to make it.

I am repeating myself, again:
I hate the standalone approach!!!
A plugin would use all the features available through other plugins.
But… Just ignore me. I am in rumbling mode.

Hey! I tried to help at the very beginning but unfortunately it didn’t work for so long. I would be glad to participate in a next meeting.
