[libreoffice-l10n] QA and Native language communities

Hi Valter, all,

I'm opening a new thread reflecting better (I hope :) the discussion.
I copy and paste your mail here:

Would you agree to use the projects@ list? There is actually a QA list 
but I think that it would be better to stay focused on the manual and 
l10n tests on a separate list. But well, this is my opinion, I don't 
know what others think about it?

There is a page here:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Litmus
and for the user
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Litmus/Litmus_User_Guide
What do you think is missing/should be improved to be more welcome or 
understandable?

yes, this is a very important point to my eyes too. Litmus is old and 
not maintained anymore so we have investigated (well I didn't follow 
what happened in fact) another tool named MozTrap which is currently 
developed by the Mozilla foundation for their own QA. See here for some 
explanations :

yes, the purpose is to have a complete environment in our own language 
that will help new comers to feel at home and those able to mentors them 
too.

As you see since the beginning of this discussion, the difficulty I meet 
is to be able to speak and go further with those who are in contact with 
potential contributors in the language communities. I started on this 
list but wanted also to ask on the website list for webmasters help.
@all: if you have any idea on how we could organize a communication 
directed to those contributors, please don't hesitate to give me your 
feedback and your ideas.

Yes, it is really and thanks a lot for your help

Kind regards
Sophie
