Language Sub Sites

Based around the model setup at http://fr.centos.org/ we would like to setup some more language specific subsites hosted at {lang}.centos.org. We envision the language subsite to essentially be a forum wrapped around a minimal lightweight portal. The focus of the subsite will be the forums and the corresponding mailing lists hosted at http://lists.centos.org/

1. Content on the portal

• Links to translated content on the wiki ( the wiki content will stay in place at wiki.centos.org/{lang}

• Links to language specific docs; to compliment the English versions at http://www.centos.org/docs/

• Links to language specific Forums.
• Regional ( if applicable ) news and events.
• Release announcements.

2. Languages

Requested ( please add names of people offering to assist here ):

• cn ( Chinese )

• cz ( Czech )

  • DavidHrbáč

• de ( German )

  • MarcusMoeller

• es ( Spanish )

  • AlainRegueraDelgado

  • Enrique Quezada Riveros
  • Eduardo Grosclaude

  • ErnestoPerez

  • HardyBeltran

• fr ( French - will be migrated from the present site )

  • FabianArrotin

  • Guillaume Kulakowski

• it ( Italian )

• ja ( Japanese )

  • AkemiYagi

  • HajimeTaira

  • JunyaTerazono

  • TadashiJokagi

• pt_BR ( Brazilian Portuguese )

  • CleberSouza

3. Requirements

1. LDAP Support

4. Candidates

Mark 'Y' or 'N' in the columns as you test through.

5. Questions that sill need answering:

• How many content moderators do we need per subsite ?
• What would be the qualification process / achievements for subsite moderators / admins ?
• What will be the formal request process for a new subsite to come up ?

Notes:

1. Website content will stay at www.centos.org, if we do get translated versions of content; that will also stay at www.centos.org using the same format as the wiki where translated pages are available under /lang/ url space.
2. Because of its very nature, bugs.centos.org will remain in English only for the time being.
3. All infrastructure admin and support will come from the core infrastructure team.

6. Next Actions

Do not use this wiki page as a discussion medium. Use the centos-devel list ( http://lists.centos.org ) for that.
