Inkscape 0.49 translation updates - po folder
by Lucas Vieites 03 Sep '12

03 Sep '12

Hi, I followed the discussion on the 0.49 Release Plan on Inkscape-devel last week [1] and I would like to request that the "po" folder of the bazaar repository be updated so that we can start updating our translations. The current date of most of the po files there is 2012-04-11. Personally I have no possibility of downloading the source tree to compile them myself so if someone with "commit" access could do that it would be great. I know that there are still changes to be made to the version before a "String Freeze", but I think it would be useful to be able to start working. Thanks in advance, -- Lucas Vieites lucasvieites@...5... http://blog.codexion.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/lucasvieites [1] http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=503DE1E5.90401%40s…

Inkscape 0.49 Proposed Release Plan
by Josh Andler 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

Hey All, The following is based on previous release plans. Let me know if there's anything missing. One thing I want to do differently is the bug hunt. No score for this release, only going for bugs milestoned for 0.49 instead. This also means we need to hit the tracker to ensure the milestoned ones are correct and to milestone and must fixes. The number of bugs already fixed in trunk is huge, so getting the work out for further testing "soon" is better. Dates are subject to change as always, hopefully they could be moved up (with the exception of the the time between Feature Freeze and Hard Freeze, for the sake of the translators). Translators, I would recommend getting started sooner rather than later. 1. Open development. (In Progress) 2. Chill. (September 21, 2012) Development focuses on wrapping up. No further refactoring. Identify 'make distcheck' issues Triage bug reports Run an About Screen contest First draft of Release Notes. Update tutorials and other docs 3. Frost. (October 5, 2012) Most development complete. Release Notes should be >90% filled in. Bug Hunt: Target those milestoned for 0.49. Post alpha quality tarball. 4. Feature Freeze. (October 26, 2012) No further development work. Disable features that can't be finished in time. Focus on critical bug fixing. Finalize all tutorials, docs, etc. Finalize all extensions. Translators create/update translations. Inkscape must pass 'make distcheck' Post beta quality tarball. 5. Hard freeze. (November 23, 2012) Only release wardens can commit to mainline. No further string changes. Focus on release-critical bug fixing. Finalize translations, release notes, etc. Post Release Candidate tarball. Packagers test creating pkgs. 6. Branch. (December 7, 2012) Establish the Stable Branch for release Complete any late-late-late work. Final verification of packaging, release notes, docs, etc. Publish more release candidates until ready for release. Plan 0.49.1+ release(s), as needed 7. Release. (December 21, 2012) Post inkscape-0.49.tar.gz Post packages Post official announcements 8. Open development. Yes, it seems like a ridiculously short timeframe given our history of making releases happen and how much we've strayed in the past. I do however feel it is doable given the change in the bug hunt requirement for this cycle. That usually holds us up. Also, no platform specific bugs will hold up this release. We will release for specific platforms as issues are taken care of. If anyone has objections or concerns, please speak up. As stated in the past... this is doable. We're good, we're smart, we're competent, and we have the resources... we just need to be focused to make this happen. Let's do this! Cheers, Josh

slovak translation
by jan pulmann 14 Apr '12

14 Apr '12

Hi, I translated a bit of sk.po interface document. I tried sticking to used translations, but I left some blank places at phrases which were unclear to me. I tried my best at translating color names, I think they don't have standardized translations to slovak, so translated names should at least give the idea of the shade. Patch to the sk.po is attached. Best regards Jan Pulmann

Inkscape Translations
by Josh Andler 13 Apr '12

13 Apr '12

Hey All, It's been quite a while since we've called on the translators to do your magic. There have been over 800 string changes (last number mentioned to me) since 0.48. This is in no way announcing a string freeze or anything along those lines. It's purely just a friendly reminder that you can probably safely do your greatly appreciated work at this point and you will probably be 90-95% done come the actual string freeze. No release plan at the moment, but as soon as we have one, you will obviously be notified. Cheers, Josh

inkscape-docs/keys into Russian
by Ivan Zakharyaschev 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

Hello! Me and some friends are about to make up Russian translations for the "keys reference". I've checked out the current sources with: bzr checkout lp:inkscape-docs . There are no Russian translations for the keys reference as for now, even no outdated translations, are there? We are going to create keys/ru.po from keys.pot with poedit and/or gtranslator. We'll send the results. Do you have any comments for us? Best regards, -- Ivan

02/25 IRC Meeting Agenda
by Josh Andler 25 Feb '12

25 Feb '12

Hey all, Here is a slightly modified agenda for the irc meeting in ~2 hours. Sorry that the formatting is probably not ideal, it's my first shot as this is the first official meeting that I can remember in the past 8 years. Just a reminder, the meeting is scheduled for UTC 02/25 0800. *Inkscape 0.48.3.1 packaging *Inkscape 0.49 -Remaining refactoring goals --Handling of svg:switch not as a kind of group, but as a "transparent" element that is effectively replaced by the best choice in the SP tree --SVG 1.1 fallback for flowtext (probably depends on the above) --UI & Document coordinates --Markers matching stroke by default (user preference vs current default behavior) --Better architecture for LPEs (similar to SVG 2.0 vector effects) --User visible version numbering -Status -Release Plan *GSOC 2012 -Focus -Goals -Mentoring -Getting new students *SVG2 -Implementation strategies --Fallback support for older versions of the spec and inkscape specific features (markers inheriting properties for example) -Low hanging fruit -Most important features to our userbase --Helping Tavmjong with the Mesh branch -Initial Vector Effects support (non-destructive boolean ops might be a good target) *CSS3 support *Javascript support *Membership changes on the Inkscape Board *What we need in upstream libraries (including 2geom) *Old/unfinished code -Lessons learned -Cleanup *Release schedule moving forward -Fixed schedule -Schedule timing -Developer needs -Translator needs *Platform specific issues (and responsibilities) *Regular IRC Meetings (monthly is ideal, quarterly would be as a good minimum) Looking forward to seeing whoever shows up. I want to have these meeting be painless, but this initial one might be a little more in-depth given that it's our first and we probably have a bit to share/discuss and document. I will try to keep us focused if we stray. Cheers, Josh
