Re: Translation Status

Hey Bonnie,

Thank you for your feedback.

For determining what was priority, Tobias and I first asked on the web 
mailing list after the summer meeting. We received no response and so we 
asked Matthias about what was most important to translate.

I then tried to reflect that feedback in how files are assigned 
priority. Essentially a sequence of file searches are used to find files 
to be translated. As part of each search the files found are given a 
priority using sed. Here are the exact searches used at the moment:
```
files=""
# Grouped by priority
files+=$'\n'$(find ./index.en.xhtml | sed 's/$/ 1/')
files+=$'\n'$(find ./freesoftware/freesoftware.en.xhtml | sed 's/$/ 1/')

files+=$'\n'$(find ./activities -type f \( -iname "activity\.en\.xml" \) 
| sed 's/$/ 2/')

files+=$'\n'$(find ./activities -type f \( -iname "*\.en\.xhtml" -o 
-iname "*\.en\.xml" \) | sed 's/$/ 3/')
files+=$'\n'$(find ./freesoftware -type f \( -iname "*\.en\.xhtml" -o 
-iname "*\.en\.xml" \) | sed 's/$/ 3/')

files+=$'\n'$(find ./order -maxdepth 1 -type f \( -iname "*\.en\.xhtml" 
-o -iname "*\.en\.xml" \) | sed 's/$/ 4/')
files+=$'\n'$(find ./contribute -maxdepth 1 -type f \( -iname 
"spreadtheword*\.en\.xhtml" -o -iname "spreadtheword*\.en\.xml" \) | sed 
's/$/ 4/')

files+=$'\n'$(find . -type f \( -iname "*\.en\.xhtml" -o -iname 
"*\.en\.xml" \) -mtime -365 -not -path './news/*' -not -path 
'./events/*' | sed 's/$/ 5/')
files+=$'\n'$(find ./news -type f \( -iname "*\.en\.xhtml" -o -iname 
"*\.en\.xml" \) -mtime -30 | sed 's/$/ 5/')
```

Which can also be viewed online here: 
https://git.fsfe.org/FSFE/fsfe-website/src/branch/master/tools/make-outdated-list.sh#L74-L88

The files are then ranked in order of priority, where 1 is max priority, 
and then if priority is equal in alphabetical order.

I do not think its feasible for there to be a nice web interface for 
altering the priority of specific files or such, but the find commands 
used in the script linked above can of course be altered. People can 
file pull requests if they feel able, or just email syshackers. We can 
add more searches to pinpoint certain files we think important, and so on.

Yes, that is definitely the goal here. Somewhere one can go and see what 
is the most important thing to translate right now, and work on it. 
Right now the finds exclude news items older than 30 days, and any files 
we have not marked that have not been edited in a year for example.

Yours,
