Hi
I started the study the code of RC and i tried to use the documentation in Trac, about API, Plugins and Themes.
My first ask is if there docs are updated. Can i use then to study and get results or are outdated?
To understand and with the idea of to bring more volunteers to code (or trough plugins, or trough core contribs), i tried to create a new page called Doc_Plugins/pt-br, where it is the translation of Doc_Plugins (logicly), but i haven't permission to do this. Can i get permission to create pages in the Trac?
Best, Claudio

We try to keep it in sync with svn-trunk version, but it's possible that some information is outdated.

I don't think we need translations for development docs. Feel free to update/extend the english version.

I can understand your viewpoint, but i have other opinion about it. I see very good programmers that wish to help in open source projects but them have the language as a barrier. Maybe for english speakers (and programmers) is a non sense thing to program without know the english, but for the mass, is the reality.
I think that isn't a problem if you have people that can translate this (and other) pages, UI and what can be translated for other languages, without costs for the core team and promoting the product and the project. Except that isn't an objective for you.
In other hand, i wish update the pages related with installation and other stuffs of RC in the wiki, and i haven't permission in open new pages. What is the way to create this pages? Do i open new tickets or other ways?
Thanks in advanced, Claudio

Hi Claudio
I totally see your point and we're not generally against wiki pages being translated into other languages. The only concern for us is to have contents in our wiki which is potentially outdated because the translators don't keep track of updates in the main/english page and we don't have any means of controlling and/or enforcing a certain quality of our documents.

In software development, English language skills are a very basic requirement and that's why we primarily focus on English. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean that we strictly deny translations.

Because we had bad experience with spammers filling up our wiki with nonsense pages, the creation of new wiki pages is restricted to a specific permission. Just send me your trac username and I'll grant you this permission because you're obviously a legit user :-)

Permission to create new pages granted. If you create translation pages, I suggest to use the same naming scheme as suggested in http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/1513
http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Doc_Plugins => http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/PT:Doc_Plugins
Thanks! Thomas
