[gnome-es] Gtranslator User Documentation in Mallard

[Radina Matic <radina matic gmail com>]

Hello everybody,

My name is Radina, I am collaborating with the  Getting Things GNOME! dev team and I am applying for the GOPW Internship this summer. My main project is going to be writing the user documentation for the Getting Things GNOME!
 app, but since it almost certainly will not take the whole 3 months of 
the internship duration, I was looking for additional tasks for the rest of the period. I am subscribed to your mailing list and was reading about your Gtranslator hackfest, when my future mentor 
Tiffany Antopolski mentioned that you were looking for someone to update the user documentation into Mallard, and all of it seemed like a perfect "gtiming"... :)

Considering the timeline of my GTG docs project, I will be able to actively start working on Gtranslator docs in Mallard  by the end of June at latest, but in the meantime I could participate in your hackfest activities and get to know the app itself better (I am translator myself, so I am fairly familiar with CAT tools). This might even be an advantage since you are working on some bugs and changes in the program itself, and hopefully they will be all dealt with before I start editing the user documentation.

Looking forward to hearing from you...

Cheers,
Radina


P.D.: Visto que toda la peña implicada en eso de Gtranslator parece ser de habla hispana, solo deciros que vivo en Barcelona y que conmigo no hace falta hablar en ingles... ;)

Hi Radina,

2. I am also very excited about the possibility of you also working on Gtranslator docs! :-)  I am forwarding correspondence between myself and Daniel Mustieles (A Gnome Spanish translator about this very topic just a few days ago.  I think your timing is perfect.)

3. I think gtg and Gtranslator docs are great projects.  Also, I personally am working on Tutorials for new developers just starting out, so perhaps, if you finish gtg and Gtranslator docs, maybe you would be able to edit these programming tutorials written in Mallard.  I was looking for someone with beginner knowledge for an editor, so would that be something you may be interested in (if time allows?).

Okay, best of luck with writing up your application :-), and here is the correspondence I mentioned with Daniel:

I know, Ignacio. It is quite simple, but maybe our friends of the doc team could help us to improve it.

Reviewing it, I was going to remove some deprecated sections, but maybe it has no much sense if we are planning to upgrade it completely.

Hey Daniel,

the documentation is short mainly because currently it sucks,

for an application like gtranslator we would need quite a long one ;)

Hi Tiffanny and Shaun,

I'd like to migrate Gtranslator's documentation to Mallard, updating it, since it really out of date. I'd like to know if doc team could help us to do this, since I've no idea about how to do it.

Documentation is short, so it wouldn't be a hard work to review and update it.

Many thanks for your help :)
