Question about the translation process of fedora 7 relnotes

[Yuan Yijun]

Hi,

I have some question about translation process. Vmlinuz may going to
translate it.


* What is the CVS url for fedora 7 relnotes?

* What group should translator have in the fedora account system?

* How to begin translation, I cannot find RELEASE-NOTES on fedora i18n
status page, so how can I "TAKE" it? I rememberred for fc6 relnotes it
was here:
http://i18n.redhat.com/cgi-bin/i18n-status?page=status&branch=HEAD&am...

* How to notify the others that I'm translating it?

* When will POT file get ready, will there be any email notifications?

* Do I need to modify "Makefile" and run "make xxxxx" to generate
zh_CN.po as before?


Thanks!

Yes, the Docs no longer appear in the i18n.redhat.com system -- Fedora
Project is working on a new system for providing PO through a WUI.

Through CVS there's no such function.  However, we have yet to encounter
conflicts for this reason in CVS, maybe because not too many people are
doing docs translations.  But if you commit your changes often, the
chances of this happening are minimized or eliminated.

Yes, we will notify fedora-trans-list when the POT is ready -- should be
later today.

OTHERS already contains "zh_CN" so you should be ready to go.  Just wait
for the "POT ready" email coming soon.
