Things I do for Ubuntu - GNU/Linux

I'm editor/administrator for the Italian wiki, administrator of the Ubuntu Italian Translators team and member of the Italian Locoteam Community Board.

I'm also a translator for upstream GNOME, the Translation Project and other projects too. This is a list of my past and actual maintained translations:

  • planner

  • seahorse

  • gnome-media

  • brasero

  • gedit

    • gedit-plugins

  • gnome-power-manager

  • xchat-gnome

  • yelp

  • empathy

  • hugin (not maintained anymore)

  • monodevelop

  • transmission

  • moinmoin (not maintained anymore)

  • compiz, fusion, ccsm, emerald and simple-ccsm (they're using pootle right now, but I don't like it very much)

  • ekiga

  • dasher

  • all moblin stack translations

I worked on the translation of the Gnome2 accessibility guide, the Gnome2 User Guide, F-Spot and Gaim/Pidgin. Sometimes I help others who want to start translating for GNOME or Ubuntu (when they ask me for help! ;).

I'm also part of the GNOME Documentation Project. What we are doing and will do in the team:

  • Rewrite Empathy documentation topic-based using Mallard (live.gnome.org page)

  • Rethink the GNOME User Guide with a topic-based approach and rewrite it.
