Add Italian language

Yes, but first it needs dedication from the team behind http://l10n.drupalitalia.org/ to migrate their data to localize.drupal.org.

Any feedback?

Well, they might turn out anytime. Better to have people come here and see what was done instead of closing it in a hurry.

I think Drupal Italia has a lot of ways to contact the team. forum, contact forms and mail. A menu item says "Contact Us"; i think it should be quitely straightforward :D.

Anyway we are talking about the migration on l.d.o but we would appreciate some features we have implemented like automatic packages export.

KiamLaLuno,

In home page you can see 'Team' (http://www.drupalitalia.org/node/2185) a simple page of all maintainer/admin of the project but please use:

http://www.drupalitalia.org/contact

to contact us.

@Psicomante: those features you look for will not materialize from thin air :) As you can see on #561662: Add German language to l.d.o for example, the German translation group is working on helping us add and deploy features they'd like to see on the server to be able to move. Contributions are welcome.

@Gàbor i haven't wanted to be opinionated. I sent you the module i've developed, but unfortunately in this days i'm really busy :(:(

Posting in the issue queue might help other less busy people to work on it :)

@KiamLaLuno: I think you've already stated your best intentions, so closing this would only get more people submit similar issues. We've seen "random people" from other language communities submit issues just to get redirected to the first one. We have representatives of the Italian server on this issue already, so it would probably be easier to track instead of letting new issues be opened.

Also I'd believe that the mid-term advantages of the central translation server outweigh not being able to translate third-party modules, but we are purposefully designing the Drupal client module and server infrastructure to support translation servers per module (based on how update status module does the same), so we keep in mind that Drupal sites are not composed merely of drupal.org hosted modules.

Looks like you'd like to see some features added before migrating. Marking postponed, like the German team (#561662: Add German language to l.d.o). When you figure it is time to migrate (or if the above statement of waiting for some features is not standing anymore), please reopen this issue.

ok, we're ready for the localization group on l.d.o. I already have an account on l.d.o; who will be the group administrator?

Thank you.

logical solution, but you know, I wouldn't have liked to elect me as administrator :D

I am the main reviewer of the Italian core translation. I think the perfect solution would be that Psicomante and I share the admin tasks, because I can handle the "community" part, while Psicomante has a better understanding of how l10n and l.d.o work.

if a split admin is not feasible, I agree to take the admin role. Psicomante, are you ok, with that?

The admin will grant the other of admin permissions, i guess. There's no problem who will be the "first" admin.

OK, can we proceed?

Ok, Pinolo for admin.

What's the next step? Is anyone going to send us notice when the Italian language team/group is ready on l.d.o?

Is there an agreement here, but just nobody bold enough to mark it ready to be committed? I'm personally not confident by just reading the comments here that there is actually an agreement made.

I've already said some comments ago, i agree with the creation of Italian Translation Group on Localize.drupal.org. Pinolo for admin and myself, or only Pinolo.

btw we agree to move from our local translation server (l10n.drupalitalia.org) to the centralized one sited on localize.drupal.org.

Great, I've created the team at http://localize.drupal.org/languages/it and made @Pinolo the initial owner / admin. He can add any number of other admins and manage group level permissions of people.

Please expect that there might be bumps in the service. You are among the beta-tester of this live instance. Thanks for helping out and please report issues as you find them! Your team members can now join and help import existing translations and work on more translations.

Anybody can sign up for being a member of the team and they will be able to submit suggestions right away. The initial admin can change permissions of people signing up, widening their capabilities. See http://localize.drupal.org/node/616 for explanation on how. It is highly suggested to grant both moderation permissions to those who you also designate admins.

Welcome on board!

Also removed the standalone Italian server listing from the l10n_server project page.

Thank you for all!

Thanks, Gabor! We've started doing some work during the weekend and everything looks fine so far.
