Super... that methodology should be written up some place as its a great guide to follow...

Something like, name of activity on one side, and on the other stage (planning, pre-source, alpha, beta, rc, release, packaged, xo bundled, translated) Something along those lines, but I'm sure someone can come up with a better matrix. If this was up at some place, we could know pretty quickly what people could be working on. It could even be split by distro too... The idea came to me because there are a ton of git projects with no code in them. </blockquote> </div> If there are git projects with no code in them, what makes you think the developer will edit another page somewhere else with project status information! ;-b With my activity developer hat on, I do find it a pain how many seemingly random places there are to work on when releasing a new version, even more for a new project, or migrated one. My check-list/todo-list is something like: If it's a new project: - Create a Gitorious project repository for it http://<a href="http://git.sugarlabs.org/" target="_blank">git.sugarlabs.org/</a> and start hacking on your code - Request a trac component for you activity at <a href="http://dev.sugarlabs.org/" target="_blank">http://dev.sugarlabs.org/</a> - Open a trac ticket to request addition to Pootle (if your strings/release is reasonably mature/ready) - Create a page at <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/</a><actvity-name> If it's a new release: - Update your activities wiki page at <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/</a><actvity-name> - Upload the .xo bundle, screenshots, notes to <a href="http://activities.sugarlabs.org/" target="_blank">http://activities.sugarlabs.org/</a> - Upload .bz2 source to <a href="http://shell.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">shell.sugarlabs.org</a> /upload/sugar/sources/honey - Edit wiki table <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Source_Code" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Source_Code</a> and make sure it's pointing to your latest .bz2 - Edit wiki table <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/</a>Roadmap to get it on Soas - Write a [RELEASE] <activity-name-version> email and send it to sugar-devel If the project is migrating from olpc infrastructure: - Migrate git repository from <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/" target="_blank">http://dev.laptop.org/</a> - Migrate open trac tickets from <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/" target="_blank">http://dev.laptop.org/</a> - Track down relevant <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org" target="_blank">wiki.laptop.org</a> pages and indicate the migration - For deployed activities make sure relevant <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities</a> page version templates point to the correct/latest working bundles. I'm sure I missed a step or two, but I think you get the picture!<div class="im"> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On Sat, May 23, 2009 at 1:51 PM, Tomeu Vizoso <<a href="mailto:tomeu@sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">tomeu@sugarlabs.org</a>> wrote: Hi Mohammad, On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 06:36, Mohammad Hamed <<a href="mailto:m.hamed@paiwastoon.com.af" target="_blank">m.hamed@paiwastoon.com.af</a>> wrote: > Dear Software Translators, > > Could you please tell me how can I translate some Activities like: > Physics, X2O, WFP, Implode, Conozco Uruguay to my language? </blockquote> </div> FWIW: Having spoken with Alex Levenson yesterday, I've started to migrate Physics over to Suage Labs infrastructure (X2o is next on my list). It runs fine on sugar-jhbuild, but does need some UI work and clean-up before I request addition to pootle for translation, or upload a bundle to <a href="http://activities.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">activities.sugarlabs.org</a>. I also mailed Jo Lee (Implode) about his availability, will migrate that over as well if he doesn't have the time at the moment.

Looks like these activities are not in pootle yet. What I think we should do is to contact the maintainers and work with them so their activities are translatable in pootle. If the activities have no active maintainers, then perhaps the Activity Team could adopt them?
