I agree that translating and maintaining the whole website is cumbersome to |
| 11 |
say the least. What I was thinking about was something in the lines of |
| 12 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~swift/international.html (note: the links don't work, |
| 13 |
probably never will :) as main page for http://en.gentoo.org (I take this as |
| 14 |
an example because I assume all know English :) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
From that main webpage, the visitor can reach the translated documentation or |
| 17 |
a list of community websites. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Maintaining this is "easy": |
| 20 |
* new translations get added as they are now, |
| 21 |
+ a newsitem on the site occurs explaining that there is a new |
| 22 |
translation |
| 23 |
* new community sites are added to two pages: the one which lists |
| 24 |
all community sites, and a link on the left of each page |
| 25 |
+ a newsitem on the site occurs explaining that there is a new |
| 26 |
community site |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
That's all there is to it. Ofcourse, newsitems regarding new (translated) |
| 29 |
GWN's could be listed there too. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Just an idea, ofcourse. |
