| 68 |
<p>Due to insufficient resources, the doc team is unable to implement |
| 69 |
this GLEP at this time. It has therefore been marked "deferred".</p> |

| 73 |
<p>The Gentoo Website <a class="footnote-reference" href="#gentoo" id="id1" name="id1">[1]</a> is the main source of documentation regarding |
| 74 |
Gentoo itself. It hosts all documents that the Gentoo Documentation Project |
| 75 |
<a class="footnote-reference" href="#gdp" id="id2" name="id2">[2]</a> delivers, including all made translations. In addition the website |
| 76 |
contains the GWN and its translations and several news items.</p> |

<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id6" id="motivation" name="motivation">Motivation:</a></h1> |
| 80 |
<p>Lots of people have shown interest in the localization proposal, and |
| 81 |
even the infrastructure team has given positive feedback. However, due |
| 82 |
to lack of a good roadmap and proposal this suggestion has never grown |
| 83 |
beyond what it is now: a suggestion. Between the first draft of this |
| 84 |
proposal and now some communities grown faster than others. Actually it |
| 85 |
is obvious that we have big communities (lots of users, lots of |
| 86 |
translators) and smaller communities (less users, less translators). If |
| 87 |
we speak about localized Gentoo sites we need to find a capable |
| 88 |
solution for small and even bigger communities. This leads us to a |
| 89 |
point where the lead translator can decide between a small localized |
| 90 |
site including necessarily translated documents and only some |
| 91 |
additional pages and a bigger variant with lots of translated gdp |
| 92 |
documents, translated news and gwn plus additional pages.</p> |

<div class="section"> |
| 95 |
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id7" id="rationale" name="rationale">Rationale:</a></h1> |
| 96 |
<p>The current layout regarding documentation in the CVS is as follows:</p> |
| 97 |
<blockquote> |
| 98 |
[gentoo]/xml/htdocs/doc/en/* |
| 99 |
[gentoo]/xml/htdocs/doc/nl/* |
| 100 |
[gentoo]/xml/htdocs/doc/fr/*</blockquote> |
| 101 |
<p>However, there are several other documents (about, policy, etc) in |
| 102 |
main/$lang:</p> |
| 103 |
<blockquote> |
| 104 |
[gentoo]/xml/htdocs/main/en/* |
| 105 |
[gentoo]/xml/htdocs/main/nl/* |
| 106 |
[gentoo]/xml/htdocs/main/fr/*</blockquote> |
| 107 |
<p>This structure makes it very difficult for assigning permissions to the |
| 108 |
individual translation teams, and even more difficult to really localize |
| 109 |
the Gentoo Website. At this very moment, the translation teams can edit |
| 110 |
documents of other languages or even the master English documents. English |
| 111 |
reviewers and editors can touch documents of languages they possibly don't |
| 112 |
even know. Although we do trust every single documentation editor, a better |
| 113 |
implementation is advisable. We also can't give access to well-known |
| 114 |
but non-dev translators.</p> |
| 115 |
<p>We want to restructure the current layout so that the Gentoo Website is |
| 116 |
more easily internationalized.</p> |
