Hi,
Maybe it was mentioned before but are we really going to migrate to Zanata
before F21 release?
I saw the high level schedule on Wiki[1].
As a lot of new things and changes coming to F21, I'm kind of hoping not
rushing migration before F21.
Just play safe, we can start migration afterwards.
Here are my concerns to migrate to Zanata BEFORE F21 release:
1. Infra and Web team will probably be busy to support the changes in
Fedora.next. In case of anything wrong with Zanata migration, we may not
have enough hands to help.
2. I don't have concrete number but it would be safe to assume that current
users of Fedora Transifex Hub are significantly larger than public Zanata
instance. We don't know how Zanata would cope with such a high demands
during F21 translation window. Giving now it was powered by OpenShift, in
theory it shouldn't be a problem to scale up. But hey, we'd better be
caution.
3. So far this message is only relayed to few translation mailing lists and
the talk with Zanata team is just started. And the season of translating
will start next Monday! :) Not much time for us to come up a tangible
migration plan.
Nevertheless, it's not like Transifex will going to charge us a large $$$
or shut us off. Thus really no need to rush things down before F21.
We can make it a phase-by-phase plan. The last thing I would want to see is
a surprise during migration cause loss of precious history or credit. Shall
we take the opportunity of FLOCK to discuss this more thoroughly?
Since we have never rejected a CC-licensed PhotoShop-ed wallpaper contest
submission, or a PO translation edited by TextMate, Transifex going
proprietary shouldn't post a threat to our 4Fs IMHO. I'm also supporting
mitigation to Zanata if it can bring us better integration with FAS and
more streamlined translation workflow.
Regards,
Tommy

Kevin, no need to be final question, rather I like to hear any concern of
Infra.
I just do not wish to let any discussion go on and decision to be made for
this issue at Infra at lists without majority of translators.

Some packages have already used zanata, as well some fedora books authors
(docs team) have also used zanata. Therefore many of translators are
familiar with zanata than any other tool. I see a number of people
supporting zanata in this list as well trans at lists.
I will make sure that translators do reach the consensus on this.

I've added this item in the list [1], and will keep you in the loop.

Let me ask a few things here.
Should we include websites team for discussion?
You are saying 'not comfortable', does that mean not enough resource on
Infra team?
