About FUEL project

[Yuri Chornoivan]

Hi,

Just a few notes about FUEL project in the Fedora and Ukrainian language  
context.

1. The project aimed to avoid fragmentation introduces fragmentation  
itself. At least for Ukrainian, TWN translator seems have not even see the  
Ukrainian translation in the applications mentioned in the contexts ever.

2. The project highly interferes with other works [1-5].

3. The project uses dictionary from the limited set FOSS applications  
(GNOME, Firefox, OO.o) at least some of which are not even most usable  
throughout FOSS applications.

4. The project seems aimed just into collecting data without using them  
for any purpose.

So I propose to make it clear that

1. The project is for Indic languages only (?).

2. The translation for other languages were not approved by any FOSS  
translation teams and express their authors opinion only.

3. Merge the existing translations with Zanata templates to avoid  
unnecessary waste of the Fedora translation team efforts.

Best regards,
Yuri
