Notes
Samvera Branch Renaming WG Charter (... )
Review with a goal of sending a Call for Participation (CfP) out 2020-07-08
CFP is going out today to seek participation.
... to send out today.
Translation management system offered by Bertie Wooles (Ubiquity Press) on tech email list (... )
Ubiquity runs a server called Weblate that can be used for managing translations.
Current flow:
New i18n keys are added with english varients
auto-translate is run;
later, maybe, a native speaker or translator notices and manually updates translations
Weblate offers a dashboard(?) for tracking which translations need work.
Could improve the flow and help us understand translation status.
Should this be pushed up to the Hyrax IG?
Chris will resurface this with Bertie and reach out to frequent translators so we can understand if this would be useful and who we can
Normalizing location of CONTRIBUTING document (see related PR for discussion) (... )
I'd prefer to first discuss https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/4414
Hyrax isn't cleaning the databases on feature specs; we should(?)
We think this might have been on purpose to speed up the test suite in the Travis CI era
It's important to keep the cycle time fast, but individual test speed isn't a major factor on that front right now.
... will usher this PR through
https://github.com/samvera/hydra-head/pull/513
wanting to normalize location of CONTRIBUTING.md across Samvera repository
should they go in `.github`? is there a github-side feature?
... if it's in repo root or /docs or /.github the link will appear in PRs and on issue creation pages
the root of the repo will be easier to notice for folks who have pulled the repo and are looking at the context
Should this go to promotion guidelines? elsewhere?
... will raise this to CCWG in slack
