| − | First to type on your user:talk page, what an honor. When it all seems like too much, as I'm sure it must, I've left something [[User:Cjl/Random_musings| here]] that I hope you might find amusing. [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 20:56, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

| − | == Thought on translations ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Before you spend a lot of time on translations via the translations template, consider the potential of the ''GoogleTrans-xx'' templates I'm starting to develop/deploy on OLPC wiki. Note, it will require the same plugin/extension magic-dust currently installed on the OLPC wiki to be sprinkled here before they will work.

| − | | |
| − | *''GoogleTrans-en'' for starting from English page [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/The_OLPC_Wiki#Machine_Translations (example)]. Click on Spanish and continue browsing rest of wiki in espanol inside Google frame.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *''GoogleTrans-es'' for starting from Spanish page [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Lambayeque (example)]. Click English and see that page and any linked lang-es page in English.

| − | * 20-odd other variations possible

| − | The idea is that you want to lower language barrier, but you don't want your most valuable trilingual (1 lang-en, 2 lang-xx, 3 wiki/Python/C/Linux/Sugar/etc.) assets spending a lot of time on keeping up with rapidly evolving edits. By the time a page becomes stable, it's probably too late to get meaningful input from a mono or bi-lingual non-lang-en audience (like teachers, local coders, etc.).

| − | | |
| − | For wiki pages, I think that any translation '''now''' is better than a great translation '''later'''. Allows you to lower language barrier immediately (in a usually good enough manner) and reserve human translation effort for Pootle and tech-phrasing sensitive pages. Try the provided links to OLPC wiki and let me know what you think. [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 19:39, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

| − | == Current events date convention ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Walter, I'm not sure I get the link-naming convention you are using on [[Sugar Labs/Current Events/Archive]]. The text there that says "2008-06-16" links to [[SugarLabs:Current_events/Archive/2006-06-24]]. Is one start of week and the other end of week? You and I have reverted each other on this (maybe even twice), and that just seems like a silly misunderstanding to have. In the spirit of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BRD WP:BRD], I may just be missing the convention you are using and I'd like to I understand it. [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 18:14, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

| − | :I need to move all the pages to the correct date. I accidentally started naming them based on the date I moved them into the archive instead of the date I created them. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 21:31, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | ::I was assuming the date of publication on IAEP was the operative date and I had crossed-checked against the archives there to do the last rename/relinking I did yesterday, which you reverted today. No point in operating at cross-purposes, so much to do to move forward without tripping over each other. [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 21:36, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | :::I must be tired (I was up all night flying over the Atlantic and in meetings all day today--hence the late posting). I thought I was exposing the publication dates in IAEP even though the pages in the wiki. I defer to you. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 21:41, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | ::I'll take another pass at it, carefully checking against the IAEP archive pages again. I do much of my wiki editing from 22:00 - 03:00 local time, so I'm just as susceptible to error as the next guy :-) [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 21:49, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
