06:07:48 <juhp> though I would be surprised if there is a some slip on Alpha, the impression I get is that better to consider it just as s/no earlier than // :) 06:07:55 <juhp> not be surprised 06:08:16 <juhp> at this point 06:08:54 <juhp> ie I think we should expect Changes Freeze and Branching to start on in less than 2 weeks 06:09:35 <paragan> hi 06:09:49 <tagoh_> I saw email on the fltg list that they are begining to discuss the test day schedule based on it. 06:10:26 <tagoh_> so we should start with it too at this moment perhaps. 06:11:16 <juhp> aha 06:13:02 <tagoh_> anything else? if not, move on then. 06:13:59 <juhp> any tentative dates? 06:15:11 <tagoh_> AFAIK there no pages for f21 test days. they are assuming the release schedule may be just s/no earlier than// 06:15:53 <tagoh_> even if not, it can be rescheduled later I guess. 06:16:45 <juhp> okay 06:17:09 <juhp> "before Beta" ? 06:17:47 <juhp> anyway we could discuss with the QA and L10n teams 06:18:00 <tagoh_> before beta yes 06:18:04 <juhp> ok good 06:18:16 <juhp> just not too much before :) 06:20:12 <tagoh_> okay, let's move on 06:20:24 <tagoh_> #topic Outstanding topic 06:20:25 <tagoh_> #info #26: proposal: IM and xkb UI design improvements (petersen) 06:20:25 <tagoh_> #link https://fedorahosted.org/i18n/ticket/26 06:20:40 <juhp> ah yes thanks.... 06:20:52 <tagoh_> just wonder if we should follow up on it today... 06:21:03 <juhp> I was just thinking about this too earlier 06:21:13 <juhp> probably i should have asked for help before 06:22:27 <tagoh_> aha 06:23:30 <juhp> my plan was to test the main ibus IMEs in rawhide and file files to improve/streamline the menus - of course anyone could help with that 06:23:36 <juhp> file bugs 06:24:06 <juhp> I think I started and then got sidetracked with some other (related) issues etc 06:24:40 <juhp> maybe more fun would be to do it together... 06:24:51 <juhp> any suggestions? 06:26:01 <anish_> juhp, what exactly you want to do 06:26:14 <juhp> I will try to take some action this week - I need to install a fresh rawhide WS to test some things anyway 06:27:05 <juhp> anish_, I don't think typing-booster has many menu items for example 06:27:45 <anish_> juhp, ohh okay sure i can help you with that 06:27:46 <juhp> I think the main targets were ja and zh probably 06:28:39 <mfabian> Typing booster has no menus at all. ibus-table has a lot, but most of them are somehow useful. 06:28:54 <juhp> maybe I will try to ping IME guys while I am testing - but proaction on this would also be fine 06:28:59 <juhp> mfabian, right 06:29:45 <tagoh_> yeah, that sounds good. 06:29:49 <juhp> ok 06:31:51 <tagoh_> okay, anything else? 06:32:28 <juhp> (one of the issues was about about gnome vs non-gnome menu iirc) 06:32:59 <tagoh_> indeed 06:34:56 <juhp> if I am not sure I may open bugs anyway to review the menus 06:35:09 <tagoh_> do we need to discuss about it separately? or in the meeting another day? 06:35:14 <juhp> it will be useful anyway to have the selection documented somewhere 06:35:23 <juhp> good question 06:35:33 <juhp> let's see maybe? 06:36:36 <tagoh_> sure 06:36:39 <juhp> it might be an idea though to look at home to bring/keep gnome/non-gnome ibus closer 06:36:46 <juhp> s/home/how 06:37:32 <juhp> though the IME mode display was part of that :) 06:38:28 <tagoh_> okay. then may be good to keep the discussion for that. 06:38:46 <juhp> yeah or a new ticket perhaps... 06:39:29 <tagoh_> works for me either. 06:39:36 <mfabian> The floating panel of ibus in non-Gnome desktops is quite useful I think, it is a pity that this is not available in Gnome. 06:40:05 <epico> mfabian, +1 06:40:22 <juhp> I see 06:40:50 <juhp> that might be a topic to bring up with the desktop team 06:41:12 <epico> yeah 06:41:28 <anish_> floating panel would it useful only for ja or za 06:41:40 <juhp> right 06:41:48 <juhp> I don't use it myself 06:42:17 <juhp> fujiwarat, it is not possible to use on gnome currently? 06:42:30 <epico> just because of user customs. 06:42:51 <juhp> right 06:43:00 <juhp> anyway probably we should move on? 06:43:46 <juhp> mfabian, you mean for ibus-table or ? 06:43:47 <mfabian> Like in ibus-table, there is the switch for the 5 Chinese modes. In the floating panel, it is easy to click it it 4 times to go from mode 0 (simplified) to mode 4 (all characters). Opening the panel menu 4 times is tedious. 06:43:54 <tagoh_> yep. shall we have another time for this discussion later 06:44:18 <juhp> mfabian, right the floating UI is the original one - IMHO the menu is still a kind of quasi-hack sometimes 06:44:22 <juhp> sure 06:44:42 <tagoh_> #topic New topic 06:44:42 <tagoh_> #info #30: review Workstation Technical Specification for i18n (petersen) 06:44:42 <tagoh_> #link https://fedorahosted.org/i18n/ticket/30 06:45:02 <juhp> mfabian, I would rather fix the menu UI though really :) 06:45:11 <tagoh_> so it is the main topic in today's meeting I think.. 06:45:50 <juhp> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Technical_Specification 06:45:55 <mfabian> juhp: That would make it even longer though, the 5 modes would become a submenu like in kkc. 06:46:29 <mfabian> (Would be easier to understand, but take up more room in the menu) 06:46:39 <juhp> mfabian, if we can fix it so that is it not longer etc :) 06:47:06 <juhp> s/is it/it is/ 06:47:07 <juhp> anyway 06:47:26 <juhp> hope some of you have looked the WS Tech Spec - I know it is a bit late 06:47:55 <juhp> but it occurred to me that it would be useful to review the current doc from the point of view of i18n 06:48:48 <juhp> hopefully you have also seen the original http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Workstation_PRD which gives more background 06:48:58 <mfabian> Which ibus packages should be in the core package list? Is it OK that ibus-typing-booster is missing? And ibus-cangjie or ibus-table? 06:49:45 <juhp> good question - I would save major default IMEs 06:49:49 <juhp> would say 06:50:25 <juhp> So perhaps not ibus-typing-booster currently 06:50:26 <mfabian> Is Cangjie a major default IME? 06:50:39 <mfabian> For Hongkong it probably is. 06:50:43 <juhp> table and cangjie might be worth considering 06:50:56 <epico> ibus-table also has cangjie, iirc. 06:51:01 <juhp> probably we need some criteria for this 06:51:08 <mfabian> Yes, and cangjie in ibus-table is a lot improved now. 06:51:14 <juhp> aha 06:51:39 <juhp> that maybe good to include table at least perhaps - how big is ibus-table-chinese? 06:52:29 <mfabian> All Chinese tables = 13M 06:53:00 <juhp> currently ko is not listed on top of gnome-initial-setup etc? 06:53:26 * anish_ woders what's wrong with internet connection 06:53:40 <mfabian> (packed in the rpms one table is about 2M, installed about 6M) 06:53:48 <juhp> anish_, quite a lot apparently :) 06:54:06 <juhp> mfabian, right and we probably don't need to install all... 06:54:25 <tagoh_> no plans to make sub-packages? 06:54:27 <juhp> I think we need to talk to mclasen etc about @fonts 06:54:37 <mfabian> Maybe only wubi because pwu said it is used a lot. 06:54:37 <juhp> tagoh_, they already are 06:54:45 <juhp> right 06:54:57 <mfabian> and maybe ibus-cangjie for Cangjie. 06:55:16 <juhp> mfabian, sounds reasonable to me 06:56:04 <juhp> I guess the other approach would be to go more by the langpacks approach 06:56:17 <mfabian> pwu: which variant of wubi is used most? We have wubi-haifeng86 and wubi-jidian86 06:56:37 <tagoh_> juhp: aha 06:57:02 <epico> mfabian, I am not sure, maybe haifeng86... 06:57:09 <epico> or have some survey for it. 06:57:32 <juhp> are they quite different? 06:57:41 <epico> not 06:57:44 <juhp> ok 06:57:50 <epico> all based on wubi 86 edition. 06:58:00 <epico> with some extents. 06:58:05 <juhp> ok 06:58:29 <juhp> good if we could pick one I guess 06:58:55 * epico not sure about which one now. 07:00:21 <juhp> epico, if you could find out that would be great to know 07:00:32 <epico> sure 07:01:02 <epico> will send email to fedora chinese. 07:01:10 <tagoh_> anyway, back to the topic... good to have a time to review the tech spec until the next meeting and if there are anything, please bring it up there. 07:01:12 <juhp> "TODO: Add fonts" I believe it is planned to add more fonts to the list 07:01:47 <juhp> tagoh_, right or even earlier perhaps since Feature Freeze is approaching 07:02:05 <tagoh_> less time to discuss it here apparently. 07:02:38 <tagoh_> juhp: sure. so by this week maybe good then? and add a comment on the ticket please. 07:02:38 <juhp> perhaps we should also look at the Server and Cloud docs since there could also be different i18n concerns there 07:02:46 <juhp> tagoh_, thanks 07:03:03 <tagoh_> aha 07:03:32 <juhp> note that the Spec is not just F21 but also longer term plan 07:03:45 <juhp> eg Wayland 07:04:03 <tagoh_> I see 07:04:04 <juhp> I also wanted to mention http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Tasklist 07:04:14 <juhp> I think we should get involved in that 07:05:35 <juhp> I suggested to ueno he should talk to Rui Matos and work together on Wayland input since he has been thinking a lot about that already 07:06:11 <juhp> any other immediate concerns on the WS Spec? 07:08:22 <juhp> I just received the Tasklist page yesterday 07:08:42 <tagoh_> aha 07:08:59 <juhp> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Tasklist#How_to_get_involved 07:09:41 <epico> the touchpad support is listed... 07:10:25 <juhp> epico, right - might not be targeted for F21, not sure 07:10:35 <epico> ah 07:12:17 <juhp> actually I don't know the details 07:12:33 <juhp> maybe I am thinking about wayland 07:12:47 <epico> ok 07:14:05 <tagoh_> okay, anything else? 07:16:03 <tagoh_> #topic Open Floor 07:16:13 <tagoh_> any other topics to discuss before stop the meeting? 07:17:57 <tagoh_> if not, will close the meeting shortly 07:20:54 <tagoh_> okay, thanks everyone for the meeting! 07:21:01 <tagoh_> #endmeeting
