PROPOSAL: Create docs-bug list.

[Jesús Franco]

I'm cc'ing this thread to translators, because we really need most ideas like this one, in order to tracking more easily our own bugs.

Actually, we have components for languages (i don't know since when);
This for Spanish (es):

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&namedcmd=fl10n-es-bugs

Product: Fedora Localization; Component: Spanish

As i've pointed above, we have the tools yet, but we are not using it, i think. Maybe lack of training?

Everybody, please share your search parameters to found bugs, i have this: 

Product: Fedora;	Keywords: Translation;	New, Assigned, Modified
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&namedcmd=f-trans

Product: Fedora Documentation;	Keywords: translation; N, A, M, V, Closed.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&namedcmd=f-docs-l10n

Product: Fedora Localization; Status: Mod, New, Assigned, ON_DEV, ON_QA, RELEASE_PENDING, POST
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&namedcmd=fl10n_gral

Having *just one* bugs list would be a great tool to handle the ubiquitous newcomers to docs or translation teams, showing them a single source to suscribe for lot of tasks. I think in a pretty easy address to include in feedback/translation notes; something like the feedback for webmaster at fedoraproject.org would be better (being forwarded to websites at l.fp.o list without hassle). I have the feeling we lose a lot of feedback (i'm thinking a lot of translation bugs, you know) since the process to file a single bug forces anyway to create an account into Bugzilla.

Anyway, for everybody looking for something to do about docs&L10N bugs:

Well, you know, maybe it would be better a docs-bugs list and a separate trans-bugs list. Again, something not demanding one more register process for people kind enough to file a bug, even in an informal way.

Kind regards,
