>> This Friday 08 Nov 2019 > I would remove this and just add a 'now' to the prior sentence. The date is in your tweets timestamp anyway. no, on social media posts live several days (a few like 3 ot 5 on Twitter, more on LinkedIn like 7 to 10) so relative dates just don't work, we have to deal with absolutes (not only Siths)
-
Nÿco
> Nÿco: Have you created a new sheet for the translations nope, not yet I understand you are suggesting I do it, correct? well, I hesitate: * on one hand that may encourage people to translate as the working document is then already created * on the other hand, leaving some space for own tools gives more freedom and flexibility so I created those pages for German and Spanish? the French translations usually are worked on an Etherpad

https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/632/files#diff-614cbf5566dea54475d4909816a7c7e2R54 Nÿco, probably not significant if it doesn't appear in the rendered version, but there's an extra space after the "*"

For next newsletters, I think we should avoid Last Calls, maybe. They're time-sensitive and it's always a mismatch
-
Nÿco
wow, good catch! thx :)
- emus has joined
-
Nÿco
yeah, Last Calls, still good to mention I mean the Last Calls have been receive by the involved people in the Standards ML but here, we inform the outside of that circle, so why remove the Last Calls? this is a Must-Have information that a spec has passed that milestone
-
Nÿco
so indeed that needs some sort of different presentation, I still don't know how

emus
nyco, okay, then I translate and drop it once ready

pep.
Yeah maybe the sentence is correct english
-
pep.
But it doesn't reflect what 0070 does
-
Martin
Take bullet points about the information and build the french sentence from scratch. This is how I translate stuff as trying to transform a sentence to another language often leads to awkward grammar.
-
pep.
Martin, yeah. I don't have much time right now though
-
emus
But I can start translating from the mainversion?

I took some time writing down remarks and suggestions regarding the newsletter tweet. There are many opinions in there, so I didn't write "IMHO" every time: 1. The picture. I am aware of the statistics saying that you get more engagement if you have an image compared to if you don't. However, I also strongly feel that an image, if used, should have some "quality". And the images used for the newsletter tweets don't fullfill that property. Please don't take that critique too negatively: We are mostly software engineers and computer-people, not designers. However, IMHO not posting an image is better than posting a bad one. Especially since twitter displays a box with info about the link below the tweet if no image was supplied - and the link is the most important thing about the tweet, so having that box would be fine. 2. As was already pointed out in #xsf, the link to the article is missing. I assume this is because the newsletter was sent before the blog post was merged? Again, the link is the most important thing about that tweet because that's where we want the people to click and read. The twitter followers have no use in knowing that other people got an email - they want to get the content. I understand that you want people to subscribe, but it should also be fine for people to follow @xmpp on twitter and get their news from there, if they wish so. 3. Full sentences would be more appealing than lists without context. 4. Perhaps write something in front of the link like "Read more here:", "Read the newsletter here:", to highlight the link and make the action item clear. 5. There is no need for two newlines between every sentence In total, my suggestion would be something like: "The November Newsletter is out with news from the XMPP ecosystem! This time it contains info about a recent sprint, early Twitter days and as always recent articles, software releases and much more! Read it here: https://example.com" [no image]

emus Firefox, but blog post or inbox email newsletter ?
-

1. I know, the symbolic is not the best, and quality (resolution) is not high I'd be happy to change it, what would you suggest?
- debacle has joined
-
Nÿco
2. Oh sh*t, I forgot the link... :( Shame...
-
Nÿco
3. Not always, depends what you want to convey, here it is al list of things inbthe content Again, happy to change for better, if suggestions are made
-
Nÿco
4. No need for a "read" on Twitter, it's short and you save characters Plus people know how to click a link if they want (and if there is one... :'( )
-
Nÿco
5. It is a question of taste
-
Nÿco
Oh and 1. Qualities of displays vary a lot
-
emus
I agree with most arguments, but I think there should be some pictures. And it should be readble in a quick manner I think
-
Nÿco
The final suggestion is awesome, I'll post it next week, but with an image
-
emus
Nÿco: what do you guys exactly mean by: early Twitter
-
Nÿco
I apologise for my lack of presence in the past weeks, health issues, usually I propose the tweets for review or co-construction earlier...

Further more: there is a 404 from Part 2 Nÿco: on my firefox https://www.erlang-solutions.com/blog/xmpp-protocol-build-an-ios-instant-messaging-app-part-2.html

I'll improve that for the next issue

> 1. I know, the symbolic is not the best, and quality (resolution) is not high I'd be happy to change it, what would you suggest? > The final suggestion is awesome, I'll post it next week, but with an image Well my suggestion would be: Either put together an image that is actually visually appealing, or leave it out completely.
-
Nÿco
No, an image is better than nothing, unless it is aweful, and in our case it is not
-
ldkjgoiwe
> The final suggestion is awesome, I'll post it next week, but with an image Generally I'm not a fan of posting the same thing multiple times. This has unfortunately been done with "Newsletter Subscription Reminders" in the past. I guess in this specific case one could argue that reposting is ok, but only because the original post did not contain the link.
-
ldkjgoiwe
> unless it is aweful, and in our case it is not I respectfully disagree 😀
-
Nÿco
Remember: Done is better than perfect Too late is better than nothing
-
Nÿco
Fan or not, it is a good practice
-
Nÿco
And doing is better than arguing, qnd facts better than opinions, and experience better than guessing, respectfully

You seem to view my statement as an attack on you. This was not my intention. As I already said: Please do not take critique of the picture negatively: We are software developers, not designers.

> What is neu-deutsch? :) > New German? direct translation - yes.... but with sarcasm no^^ means something like the "new German" has some degration involved and lots of anglizims (?) make the people creative nowadays^^
