[Freeipa-devel] Move FreeIPA translations to Zanata?

[Martin Kosek]

I am forwarding my conversation with the Noriko from Fedora localization team 
to the devel list, see below. What do you guys think? Any concerns with moving 
FreeIPA translations from Transifex to Zanata? SSSD project is moving there as 
well.

The move has +1 from me, the Zanata platform looks great, many projects are 
migrating to it AND it is open source (unlike Transifex).

The actual migration should be pretty straightforward. Tomas Babej already 
volunteered to take care of the localization process. The Fedora localization 
team will help with any Zanata specifics, so it should be pretty smooth move.

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin

I am Noriko Mizumoto, FLSCo member.
We, FLP (Fedora Localization Project), decided to move our interface
from Transifex to Zanata.
I have had the meetings with the leaders from Docs team, Web team as
well FESCo [1] in 2014, and our decision has been supported by them.
This means that All translators move to Zanata to work on Fedora related
translation. All Fedora projects including Software, Documentation and
Websites are requested to move to Zanata.

I understand that FreeIPA is Upstream and is not bound by this. But I
like to encourage your project team to consider the move, since all
Fedora projects as well many of Upstream projects will move to Zanata
from Transifex. The detailed background can be found in the FESCo ticket
[1]. The migration schedule can be found in the wiki page [2].
The announcement has been made at devel-announce ML in Nov 2014, asking
the developers' to take an action [3].

It is much appreciated that if you can coordinate the discussion with
the freeipa-devel team.
Once the decision is made, could you please advise me so that I will
make sure to inform your project's decision to all Fedora translators.
We are looking at to complete entire projects migration by February
2015, minimizing the impact to F22.

Any question, please feel free to ask.
