Hi, |
| 5 |
I'm currently co-maintaining (with coronalvr) some packages which are used |
| 6 |
by middle-eastern users (namely - fribidi, hspell, bidiv, and i'm probably |
| 7 |
forgetting something here..). |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Now, those packages are currently herdless because i'm not sure what |
| 10 |
strategy should be taken when assigning them to herds. |
| 11 |
There are two options regarding that: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
a) Creating a general i18n herd for all i18n-related packages (the cjk |
| 14 |
herd could probably be merged into that). |
| 15 |
b) Creating specialized herds for each region/language group - ie. |
| 16 |
middle-east, cjk, anything else? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I think option B is better because, for example, i've absolutely no |
| 19 |
knowledge of CJK, so if someone will ask me something about one of the cjk |
| 20 |
packages (because he'll see me as a maintainer for the i18n herd) i'll |
| 21 |
have to redirect him to someone else in the herd == inefficency. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Your comments are more than welcome. |
