Due to insufficient resources, the doc team is unable to implement |
| 15 |
|
|
this GLEP at this time. It has therefore been marked "deferred". |

The Gentoo Website [#gentoo]_ is the main source of documentation regarding |
| 21 |
|
|
Gentoo itself. It hosts all documents that the Gentoo Documentation Project |
| 22 |
|
|
[#gdp]_ delivers, including all made translations. In addition the website |
| 23 |
|
|
contains the GWN and its translations and several news items. |

Motivation: |
| 27 |
|
|
=========== |
| 28 |
|
|
|
| 29 |
|
|
Lots of people have shown interest in the localization proposal, and |
| 30 |
|
|
even the infrastructure team has given positive feedback. However, due |
| 31 |
|
|
to lack of a good roadmap and proposal this suggestion has never grown |
| 32 |
|
|
beyond what it is now: a suggestion. Between the first draft of this |
| 33 |
|
|
proposal and now some communities grown faster than others. Actually it |
| 34 |
|
|
is obvious that we have big communities (lots of users, lots of |
| 35 |
|
|
translators) and smaller communities (less users, less translators). If |
| 36 |
|
|
we speak about localized Gentoo sites we need to find a capable |
| 37 |
|
|
solution for small and even bigger communities. This leads us to a |
| 38 |
|
|
point where the lead translator can decide between a small localized |
| 39 |
|
|
site including necessarily translated documents and only some |
| 40 |
|
|
additional pages and a bigger variant with lots of translated gdp |
| 41 |
|
|
documents, translated news and gwn plus additional pages. |

Rationale: |

========== |

The current layout regarding documentation in the CVS is as follows: |
| 48 |
|
|
|
| 49 |
|
|
[gentoo]/xml/htdocs/doc/en/* |
| 50 |
|
|
[gentoo]/xml/htdocs/doc/nl/* |
| 51 |
|
|
[gentoo]/xml/htdocs/doc/fr/* |
| 52 |
|
|
|
| 53 |
|
|
However, there are several other documents (about, policy, etc) in |
| 54 |
|
|
main/$lang: |
| 55 |
|
|
|
| 56 |
|
|
[gentoo]/xml/htdocs/main/en/* |
| 57 |
|
|
[gentoo]/xml/htdocs/main/nl/* |
| 58 |
|
|
[gentoo]/xml/htdocs/main/fr/* |
| 59 |
g2boojum |
1.1 |
|
| 60 |
|
|
This structure makes it very difficult for assigning permissions to the |
| 61 |
g2boojum |
1.3 |
individual translation teams, and even more difficult to really localize |
| 62 |
g2boojum |
1.1 |
the Gentoo Website. At this very moment, the translation teams can edit |
| 63 |
|
|
documents of other languages or even the master English documents. English |
| 64 |
|
|
reviewers and editors can touch documents of languages they possibly don't |
| 65 |
g2boojum |
1.3 |
even know. Although we do trust every single documentation editor, a better |
| 66 |
|
|
implementation is advisable. We also can't give access to well-known |
| 67 |
|
|
but non-dev translators. |
| 68 |
g2boojum |
1.1 |
|
| 69 |
|
|
We want to restructure the current layout so that the Gentoo Website is |
| 70 |
|
|
more easily internationalized. |

The Lead Translator can choose if he wants to maintain a "small" or a |
| 80 |
|
|
"big" localized site. All localized sites will be accessible on |
| 81 |
|
|
http://$lang.gentoo.org which will point to [gentoo]xml/htdocs/$lang. |
| 82 |
|
|
All localized sites must be implemented in GuideXML. |
