package: debian-i18n
severity: normal

I hope it is okay to make this bug report an answer to the the thread
"What about DDTSS do you (dis)like?"
on debian-i18n.

The DDTSS does not always adhere to the preset number of proof-readers for a
specific language, accepting translations earlier.

I asked another active German translator, whether he had the same
impression.
His explanation is that perhaps two people from the system's point of view
"simultaneously" declare their agreement. His impression is that after some
time without review the number of required proof-readers is reduced. He
wonders if it is a programming error or intentionally implemented.

An example from a requeued translation:
http://ddtp.debian.net/ddtss/index.cgi/de/forreview/libdirac-decoder0?1309324717
...
Raw form:

# Creator: Debianer
# Reviewers: me_910,85.35.153.56

# Source: dirac

The German translations require three proof-readers to be accepted.

Kind regards,
    Martin

Hello Martin

yes, this is ok

this is right.

this is intentionally implemented

If a description need reviewer, and it is reviewed from one or more
reviewer, one week since the last change/update count as one reviewer.


Count this still a bug?

Quoting Michael Bramer (m.bramer@deb-support.de):
without any review, for a given language.

Depending on how you consider this, this could be considered a
bug....or a feature, indeed.  Could this be made easily configurable
somewhere?

Indeed, what I would like to see configurable in DDT* (preferrably in
a config file more than hard-coded in the scripts:

Per language:
- number of reviewers
- the above feature (delay without review counts as a review)
- the delay in the above feature
- anonymous contributions allowed or not (maybe this is a DDTSS-only
feature)

Also, having the possibility to revive "general" messages (visible for
all users and stored in a simple text file on i18n.debian.net) as well
as "team" messages (which could be edited by privileged users for the
said language....which means defining a "superuser" for each
language....that superuser being set by....the i18n gurus.

no.

The description must have a translator, one (or more) reviewer and
some time without any update...

One single person is not enough

we can add a option for this, but:

We rewrite the ddtss stuff. Better is to collect this things and add
it in a clean way in the new rewrite web interface.

ok.

But I don't like 'DDTSS-only' feature. I chat with Martijn and we like
to make the mail and web interface feature compatible (reviews,
messages, comments, same user accounts, etc.)

ack,

I will collect this and other points in a wiki page...
