The goal of the MeeGo Localization Community is to bring the software closer to local communities (countries and languages). This usually involves providing translations via PO files but is certainly not limited to that, especially for documentation and websites.
Definition of Steering Group:
This group, consisting initially of 2 Intel reps, 2 Nokia reps, and 5-6 community reps, will report to the TSG. Its responsibilities include resolving issues that the community is unable to, helping to define and communicate the MeeGo development road map, communicating all l10n issues to the greater community, and maintaining a wiki, and perhaps a forum, for real time exchange of information.
Steering Group Meetings:
Probably will meet once a month--TBD.
General Meetings:
Every 2 weeks on Fridays at 1600 UTC on #meego-meeting IRC or whatever time is better.
To formulate a proper plan for MeeGo, we need key information that is not readily available at this moment.
Tasks (thanks to the Maemo l10n community for these!)
* Organize localization teams, preferably working with existing teams from other open source projects. * Provide tools for consolidated language/localization teams willing to have fully localized communities around meego.com * Provide tools and documentation to improve the localization of applications. * Establish channels to collaborate in the improvement of MeeGo localization in officially supported languages. * Provide tools and documentation to create and maintain MeeGo localizations in languages supported at a community level.
