The XSF has been started to offer fiscal hosting via OpenCollective for XMPP projects! This allows open source XMPP projects that cannot maintain funding to effectively manage donations through-out the XSF. Read about the details here: https://xmpp.org/community/fiscalhost/

started or starting? Non-native here so lol

had been startled ;)

"has started to offer", I would say

Licaon_Kter, I heard you know romanian? :) we need a translation for our translation disclaimer: "Translations are submitted by volunteers, and may at times not reflect the English original."

I've seen that, didn't he the time...will do...soon

alright, many thanks in advance!

thanks, yes

neox: providing the files via Github is no way for you?

emus: exactly. I can send patch via email though

(With signed commit inside)

wurstsalat - so what mail shall we use best?

> No github account, no PR. But translators could submit the translated markdown file by other means (mail, etc.) that was probably a bad idea (since I wouldn't want to put in extra work to transfer those patches to git)

I think we have two options here: - Find a volunteer to take the .md from the french community (or where ever this problem appears) and create a PR - Just leave it as it is currently with no direct translation hosted for French. It is an offer, not a requirement of course

wurstsalat: patch to PR transformation could be an automated process (if Github has an API of any kind)

Can't you just `git am` the patch?

Martin: that's what we did with ejabberd (last time I contributed), but perhaps there is more to do with newsletter process ?

Missing till 2nd: Images and review from Jabber atom feed + this chat if something is missing here

wurstsalat, emus: Romanian > "Translations are submitted by volunteers, and may at times not reflect the English original." "Traducerile sunt oferite de către voluntari și s-ar putea câteodată să nu reflecte versiunea originală din limba engleză."

That being that, what's the point? You think translators don't correctly translate and want to distance XSF from that or?

Licaon_Kter, thank you! comm team simply does not have the resources to check translations, hence the note

Yes, and we cannot ensure people start expressing things evtl. imprecise
