I've just pushed "the button" on the newsletter... it is sending now to our 279 subscribers
nyco
as a subscriber, I have received it
nyco
please merge PR https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/614
and deploy on our blog
thanks all!
it has been a real team effort, I am glad, it's hard but it works
emus
nyco: how do you want me to provide the translations?
pep.
emus, are you affiliated with jabber.de or sth btw?
ralphm
I have received it.
emus
pep.: no, why?
pep.
Just curious
pep.
Do you have a venue to expose the translation like we do with jabberfr maybe? I don't know if xmpp.org has multi-lang support(?)
emus
pep.: I dont know what you mean exactly. I have a github account if that help xD
emus
But I can also provide it as plain text in german and maybe spanish
pep.
emus: I don't know if xmpp.org can expose one article in multiple languages is what I'm saying
pep.
For the French translations we publish it on jabberfr.org
emus
Ahh, okay. now I understand
emus
I can ask the jabber.de guys if they are interested
nyco
that would be great
nyco
do they have a wiki or some tool to host the translation process?
no clue, I guess not. tell me what would be ideal for you
emus
I might can arrange

danke schön!

Speaking of the wiki: Would you be open to use an etherpad or something else supporting markdown for collecting the newsletter topics? That would make it a lot easier to transfer it to pelican.
SouL
Yeah, I already raised that matter, we need something with history as well, maybe not to collect the topics but at least to write the newsletter
SouL
to allow easier collaboration

nyco
etherpad is cool, but text not markdown, and does not scale
nyco
probably link collection on the wiki, then copywriting on a markdown-friendly collab editor
nyco
but I'd rather have contributions, and then move to a new tool
rather than people asking for a new tool and we migrate without contributions
pep.
nyco: "does not scale"?
nyco
no
pep.
I've had etherpads pads with tens of users without any issues
pep.
For collecting links I'm sure it's good enough
pep.
And writing the newsletter
nyco
in terms of community management, you don't create an empty space, hoping for spontaneous generation of contributors
you start with something that is not optimised, then contributors do their thing, then you optimise the processes and tools
nyco
I've had the opposite experience
nyco
for now, the newsletter is only a link collection... that's not what a newsletter is supposed to be
last month we introduced the specs
this month we introduced the license and credits
what improvements do you want to bring next month?
nyco
btw, if the tools we choose are good, we may host the translations efforts as well
nyco
what other local Jabber communities can we ask for translations? jabber.pl (dead)? jabber.ru? jabber.at?
nyco
btw, for a collab text editor, it should not only support real markdown, but also inline images

nyco: your smtwitter stats you summed up in that spreadsheet. but is fine. is only for you
nyco
smtwitter what?
nyco
sorry, I don't get it
nyco
I summed nothing, I reported from https://analytics.twitter.com
nyco
the current number of followers are in realtime on:https://twitter.com/xmpp
nyco
https://twitter.com/xmpp
emus
Doesnt matter, forget it. I was referencing to the picture from 2:14pm
nyco
ok, but why do you want to report it on the metrics?
emus
No, I just thought could improve the overview. but its your thing, no need
nyco
it's not only for me, for usall
emus
ok
nyco
so I don't know he exact number of followers at any given time
nyco
it's not available
nyco
only the realtime, and it's on https://twitter.com/xmpp
nyco
so what would you want to copy-paste and why?
emus
😄 nyco, is fine. I just had a thought. Doesnt matter
nyco
ok...

Apparently my Dino security analysis ( https://gultsch.de/dino_multiple.html ) didn't fall under this definition of relevancy :-/
> The submission must ideally be a blog or article about XMPP/Jabber and/or XMPP-based software (clients, servers, libs)

are you complaining the harsh way, again?

nyco
what is wrong with this?
> Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Dino, please update as soon as possible if you are a Dino user.
As the newsletter is about communication, I think we might can create a "Call" section. something like: Developer XY from App XY is calling for voluntary Chinese translators... or on specific problems.
What do you think about it? It might help to exchange knowledge through the network
nyco
I like it
SouL
Sounds good!

winfriedhas joined
nyco
how would we select the calls?
SouL
It is a bit complicated I think
SouL
If we had previous examples it would be easier.
emus
I rather think, we look what people send. if there are like > 5 Calls, we need a process
emus
if there are only barely people useing it, thats it
emus
I would go first for an announcement that we plan this opportunity
