17:14:45 <brainycmurf> Jens has slides. There are some subprojects:
17:14:47 <brainycmurf> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/I18N
17:14:49 <brainycmurf> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N
17:14:51 <brainycmurf> - Translation is largely handled upstream.
17:14:53 <brainycmurf> - Allan raises the question of supported languages - we don't really have a notion
17:14:55 <brainycmurf> of that for Fedora. Many people choose their locale in the installer, and anaconda
17:14:59 <brainycmurf> has its own language list (which just goes by the translations anaconda has).
17:15:01 <brainycmurf> GNOME release notes use an 80%  threshold for declaring languages supported,
17:15:03 <brainycmurf> but we don't use those thresholds to filter the language list in the control-center.
17:15:05 <brainycmurf> - Jens has a lot of past Fedora features listed on this slides.
17:15:07 <brainycmurf> - Some discussion around measuring which locales are used to what degree with
17:15:09 <brainycmurf> Fedora. Currently, we don't have any data. Allan points out that we have a small
17:15:11 <brainycmurf> GNOME tool for data collection that could maybe enhance to collect locale info.
17:15:13 <brainycmurf> - Fonts had a big change recently, with the switch to Noto.
17:15:15 <brainycmurf> - Still open: improving font installation on Silverblue (could explode rpms into
17:15:17 <brainycmurf> the home directory).
17:15:19 <brainycmurf> - Input methods main ones are Korean and Chinese.
17:15:21 <brainycmurf> - Lots of things to say here. We've been fighting Wayland regressions for a while.
17:15:23 <brainycmurf> Allan and Neal talk about the difficulty of working with the ime authors on UX.
17:15:25 <brainycmurf> -We discussed opening our internal GNOME/I18N call to Fedora and upstream KDE
17:15:29 <brainycmurf> folks.
17:15:31 <brainycmurf> #action Neal to put Jens in contact with Aleix
17:15:33 <brainycmurf> - Jens shows a few tools that present statistics about Fedora translations.
17:15:35 <brainycmurf> - We talked a bit about areas to focus on -  UX around input, input testing,
17:15:37 <brainycmurf> filtering of locales, font qa.
