416627 - Update the "Is Camino available in my language" FAQ

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: Product Site, defect)

Description

* Switch the URL for caminol10n page to http://cl10n.rwx.it/

* Add a link for "list of active contributors" that points to http://cl10n.rwx.it/teams

* We currently list the languages on the release notes page as well as the download page.  We should restore that link using either releases/latest (to the relnotes) or the $latest variable (to the latest ML download page).

On the last one, I think I'd prefer the link point to the relnotes page, so that a user doesn't get a download he doesn't want if his language isn't included in our ML version.  We have download links just above the list of languages on the relnotes page, so it's easy to get a download if your language is in the ML version.

In order to make things stick more to real facts, I'd change the last sentence to this (feel free to make English better):

Make sure you check the _list of active contributors_ (->link to a new page where only actual contributors to the latest release are listed) first so you don’t end up doing duplicate work. You can also look at the broader _list of contributors_ (->link to http://cl10n.rwx.it/teams) who registered to the localization community and are probably looking for teammates to complete the work.

Marcello, does a page listing only the "active contributors" exist yet?  I'm working on updating this part of the website right now.

I know the timing is bad (this fell off my radar until now), so if it doesn't exist, I can make both links point to the teams page for now, and we can fix the link post-1.6.

Here's the text of the last sentence as it exists in my local copy:

Make sure you check the <a href="">list of active contributors</a> first so you don’t end up doing duplicate work. You can also look at the broader <a href="http://cl10n.rwx.it/teams">list of contributors</a> who have registered with the Camino Localization Project and who are probably looking for teammates to help complete a translation.</p>

Also added an alias that will become consistent across releases:
http://cl10n.rwx.it/active-contributors

Thanks, Marcello; I'll use this one--one less thing for me to remember to change ;)

FIXED, on stage for 1.6.
