Dev release

* delta updates twice per week

Testing guidelines

* Check a list of packages

• Application runs
• Are translations in order
• GNOME Desktop (core set of apps):
  • home folder, nautilus, menu
  • Firefox and help
  • (OO.o) -- not in language-packs yet, those are in separate packages and currently come directly from upstream.
  • Evolution
  • F-Spot
  • Pidgin/Empathy
• KDE Desktop (core set of apps):
  • TBD
• Are newly done translations present/displayed
• GNOME point release translations after Ubuntu release are not imported into LP unless they solve a critical bug
  • let tranlators know that they will have to manualy upload po files
• ubuntu-langpack or ubuntu-langpack-testing project
  • Tracking feedback by bugs
  • Translators add tasks for the tested langs, to avoid pre-creating 250 tasks in advance
  • People can subscribe/assign/launchpadlib can create reports, etc.

Langpack inclusion

• translation teams with small percentage of translations
• Change Ubuntu Translators to 'Restricted'
• Assess activity of translation teams
  • check that leaders are subscribed to ubuntu-translators
• ask localization coordinators to be part of ubuntu-translators
• together with Launchpad Translators group, also apply those actions to Ubuntu group
