(10:15:32) mdamboldt: b_osi: So it's to advertise the repository.
(10:15:41) b_osi: mdamboldt: yes
(10:16:37) stx12: nice! should we decide for 1 unique design or have the choice to use all of them?
(10:17:10) SunNF: we should decide for one of the white once, one of the blue once, I think.
(10:18:25) jsc: i like the no 2
(10:18:32) SunNF: I like alternative 2 and 5 of the small once
(10:18:52) mdamboldt: I've we should decide for one of each category my vote is  |2 and 5|, |4| and |4|
(10:19:29) stx12: how about placing each alternative for some days on the download page see how successful they are?
(10:20:06) stx12: at least if we don't want to exclude some just from the beginning...
(10:20:24) ***mdamboldt stx12 the measure man :) stx12: Sounds good!
(10:20:40) jsc: fine for me
(10:21:11) SunNF: stx12: and set the relation to the download page page hits? Fine!
(10:21:47) ***mdamboldt Wondering where those banners will be placed at all? Would they be free to everybody to place them where ever people like to? Those we can't measure...or?
(10:22:33) stx12: mdamboldt: right; be we can check the success by using them at our site.
(10:23:06) stx12: see also http://download.openoffice.org/2.3.0/index.html?focus=download
(10:23:24) stx12: "Promote OpenOffice.org" at the bottom
(10:23:44) mdamboldt: stx12: I see
(10:24:53) stx12: i would like to drop A3 of the large buttons: too busy; ...org in the atom confuses...
(10:26:09) stx12: hm; no opinions; then let the numbers speak :-)
(10:26:17) bettina-h [i=Bettina_@nat/sun/x-c67a44a396d87ae0] est entré dans le salon
(10:26:25) jsc: stx12: you mean that we should have a similar section like "Promote OpenOffice.org" on the repository side to promote these banners and the repository
(10:27:27) mdamboldt: stx12: agree to drop A3
(10:28:11) jsc: stx12_ +1
(10:28:12) stx12: jsc: yes, but i think we should find our (users) favorite button and banner first.
(10:28:26) stx12: i will run the test.
(10:28:34) jsc: stx12: of course ;-)
(10:28:54) stx12: any other topics?
(10:29:04) lgodard: stx12: translation of live content
(10:29:05) stx12: lgodard: you started to raise something?
(10:29:14) stx12: lgodard, yes?
(10:29:33) lgodard: can someone b_osi ? make a brief report on this
(10:29:37) lgodard: are you in the party ?
(10:30:03) b_osi: As you can see I replied to it on the list, and got no reply so far;
(10:30:10) lgodard: is there an online form planned for translating living content ?
(10:30:47) b_osi: I'm more a fan of a solution to extract the contont in a .po file.
(10:31:04) lgodard: b_osi: i do not see your answer
(10:31:08) b_osi: This was the only way l10n team would like to support it.
(10:31:29) lgodard: b_osi: yes, last meeting points
(10:31:49) lgodard: b_osi: i still think it will not be sustainable, but, ok
(10:32:24) stx12: so we will stick to the decision the l10n team made
(10:32:27) stx12: anything else?
(10:32:41) lgodard: stx12: it is not incompatible
(10:32:54) lgodard: the ext website could be a front end to generate po files
(10:33:18) lgodard: as a lot od fpotential translators do even not know what a po file is
(10:33:42) b_osi: lgodard: ok, my mail didn't made it to the list - I will repost :-(
(10:33:55) lgodard: i just wanted to point andreas mail and have a follow up on this
(10:34:00) lgodard: b_osi: ah, ok
(10:34:02) jsc: lgodard: it can evolve and we can extend, change or adapt the workflow. but we should try to reuse the existing i18n process
(10:34:23) lgodard: jsc: instead of reuse, i would say feed it
(10:34:54) stx12: lgodard: good, and b_osi took the task to answer the mail.
(10:35:07) lgodard: stx12: ok
(10:35:20) stx12: other topics for today?
(10:36:24) stx12: then let's close the meeting; have a nice day; next meeting 2007-12-06...
