Email-Aliases for new translators

[Roman Spirgi]

Dear L10N coordinators,

I'm wondering if you add new translators to the "l10n Commit Group" so that
they can use a fedoraproject email alias?

The problem is that I wasn't approved when I did start translating neither
- this group is no longer in use I suppose?!

Is a new translator not eligible to get an email alias? How to you handle
this?

Cheers,
Roman

"You must also sign the Contributor License Agreement and make sure you are
also approved in at least one non CLA group as well."

As far as I know, cvsl10n was a group of
translators who had access to 
Localization project CVS repo. Now we use Transifex (or Zanata). I was 
approved for cvsl10n, because of my translations.

I think that Localization team members should be approved for l10n 
Commit Group, since CVS repository is no longer used.

Better would be to
- rename this group
- enable FAS OpenID at transifex.com

But I agree, we should help translator getting their alias through the
cvsl10n group. When requesting so, adding a link to your transifex profile
would help knowing that your are an active translator.

Yes, this group is a group of translators who had access to 
transifex.fp.org. This group allowed each team coordinator to 
effectively maintain their team members access to their PO files (aka, 
checking fulfilment of the requirement and approving appropriate 
permission can be done one place). Since the move to fedora dot 
transifex.com, this can no longer be applicable.

Afaik, being a member of this group will allow a user to edit wiki. So 
it should still be useful somehow.

There are three types of role for the member; user, sponsor and 
administrator. Every language coordinator is supposed to obtain 
'sponsor' permission. The detail is described in the 'L10N Maintainer' 
page [1]. New translator will be approved as a member of this group by 
their language coordinator, once he/she join Fedora via FAS. This step 
used to be a part of the procedure 'how to become translator', and it 
had been described in TQSG.

In short, ask your team coordinator for approval :-)

This had been discussed on this ML a few years back (or more
than that), 
and we ended up to stick with this name for a while if my memory serves 
correct. But I have no objection to rename :-)

This has already been
requested to Transifex team at the time of the move.

IIRC we do not need to be in the group to edit wiki pages.  A FAS
account should be sufficient. But a non-cla group will help new
translators to get an email alias, be able to vote, and so on. Maybe the
badge system also uses the group information?
