[webmin-devel] 1. CfQ (Call for Quality) - Webmin-Translations 2005

[Martin M. <mm...@me...>]

Hi all,

today I would like to launch the 2005 QoS (Quality of Service)-Challenge 
for Webmin-Translations.

Webmin is constantly growing but translations most of the times are far 
behind this development. If you look at 

http://webmin.mamemu.de/lang.html

you can have a look at the languages which are currently supported by 
Webmin, but if you look at the source with wbmtranslator you see, that 
sometimes there are only a few strings translated though.

This QoS-Challenge should lift Webmin, Usermin and Virtualmin to the 
next stage at least for the languages

	German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese

to be the most completed languages supported by Webmin.

In first instance it will be necessary to create work groups for these 
languages. So everyone who wants to take part please send a message to 
me (in english) and tell me his/hers language.
After some while I will setup and distribute a 
webmin-trans-XX-list-MailingList so that the translators can workout 
their stuff as a group.

Each team should have a speaker who is at least subscribed to the main 
MailingList webmin-trans-list to discuss general stuff.

The goal for this QoS is to have the complete Webmin, Usermin and 
Virtualmin to be translated into the above written languages. If other 
teams (languages) are coming up, no problem :-)

In order to have teams teamed up before starting this I think it would 
be a good point to start with this after the next stable release of 
Webmin and Usermin.

Any hints and comments are welcomed ....

please distribute this CfQ to your friends (do not spam!) on other 
mailinglists, user groups and get them to 

	web...@ma...

I have set a reply-to that list, but the main webmin-lists are 
overwriting this, so be prepared to check the To:-Address when replying 
and to subscribe there first at

bis dahin/kind regards
