Hi all, it seems that the translations in the Nouveau wiki have been rotting for some time. Many translated pages even have a note saying they are not up to date, which makes me think they are not going to be updated anymore at all. I am planning to remove all translation links from FrontPage and FAQ. I will not remove the pages themselves. If someone wants to come back and actually maintain a translation, please do so. You can then add the proper links back. For MmioTrace I have already done this. I may do this for more pages, when I find them, unless the translation appears maintained. Let me know of any objections. The CC's contain the addresses from the Translation_Team page. The latest updates to *any* translated pages are: - FeatureMatrix-fr, 3 months ago - FrontPage-ru, MmioTraceHowto-ru, 5 months ago - IrcChatLogs-fr, 5 months ago - FrontPage-fr 6 months ago The fact, that we have not noticed anyone being yet mislead by the outdated translations IMHO suggest that they are not really needed. Are there other opinions? Translators, please subscribe to the pages you translate from, so you are notified about changes. Thanks. -- Pekka Paalanen http://www.iki.fi/pq/

Congrats on this, I must say I am impressed. Now since MJules agrees for his translations to be removed (removing the link is equivalent to removing the translation in terms of visibility), I guess my objections no longer have a foundation. I think it is a bad move in terms of communication with our potential users, while it brings us absolutely nothing to carry out this removal. Except maybe a bit of pleasure for you, so go ahead :) -- Greetings, A. Huillet

But, having said that, I haven't translated any other content myself than TiNDCs, so it may sound unfair for those who have done the work. I'll probably try to translate the last TiNDC this christmas holidays though. Regards, Rafael
