Gnus FAQ: still maintained ?

Gnus FAQ: still maintained ?

[Xavier Maillard]

Hello,

With a couple of french people, we have decided to take back the
translation of the Gnus documentation in french.

I am currently translating the Gnus FAQ but I fear this is not as
up to date as I thought.

Does anybdoy maintain it or is it useless to translate it ? (it
is speaking of Gnus version 5.10.0).

Regards.

texi/gnus-faq.texi in the v5-10 branch and in the trunk in Gnus
repository should be up to date.

Why do you think that they are not up to date?

AFAICS, the XML- and HTML-version on http://my.gnus.org/FAQ/ are also
up to date (which was not always true in the past).  The source for
those is the file gnus-faq/src/gnus-faq.xml (see
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnus/).  Please disregard the file
gnus-faq.texi available there: it is outdated.  Originally the plan
was to generate gnus-faq.texi automatically from gnus-faq.xml.  But it
required much manual editing before it was in a shape that could be
included in the Gnus manual.

The versions in Gnus CVS are maintained by the Gnus developers.  I try
to keep the content of gnus-faq.texi and gnus-faq.xml in sync.

Oh, hm, this was only caused by the fact it was speaking about
v5.10.0 and not 5.10.6. Dunno if things evolved between these 2
releases.

Well, that's ok then.

I doesn't make much sense to speak of a specific number.  Therefore, I
have changed 5.10.0 to 5.10 back in September.  If you still see
"5.10.0" in the FAQ, your copy is outdated or I missed some
occurrences.

Ok, I will see if it still has 5.10.0 occurences.

Oh and BTW, how can I put all the french translation into the
Gnus distribution ?

We have already translated some docs (message, faq, part of the
manual, ...).

Regards and happy neww year

When talking about the Chinese translation of the FAQ, Lars thought
that it was better not to have translations distributed with Gnus.
But of course we can put some links to your translations on the web
pages (e.g. on <URL:http://my.gnus.org/FAQ/>).  Can you give me the
links?

If you need webspace or other resources, probably the my.gnus.org team
can help you.

Great!

Well, no I can't for instance since the project is quite
unorganized :) We are still trying to keep working and when
ready, we will publish all of the work on Gna! which is our
hosting project manager :)

The project is named tradgnus-fr on Gna!

Ok, I will try to discuss with them.
