[13:07]	:	The only big update is that THANK YOU to those who signed up to translate for Viewer 2.0! We are going to ask the Legal team to send those people the N.D.A. document this weekk
[13:07]	:	woot!
[13:07]	:	Look for it in your email in the next 3 days or so.
[13:07]	:	yay!
[13:07]	:	What happens if you enter twice?
[13:07]	:	In fact .. in the past .. Surfaqua was a man .. but I've transform him in squerrel

[13:08]	:	how many signed up so far?
[13:08]	:	Lisa, I am not sure yet! I was waiting to see if anyone else signed up yesterday, :)
[13:09]	:	We did get an additional 10 sign ups today ㋡
[13:09]	:	ok
[13:09]	:	So good participation levels so far!
[13:09]	:	Next up is:
[13:09]	:	Whats happening with those great pictures submitted for homepage?
[13:10]	:	We had wonderful pictures submitted for German, French, Japanese, Spanish, Italian and Br Portuguese!!
[13:10]	:	The plan is to use those as soon as possible and also possibly feature the locations of the pictures in a blog post as well ㋡
[13:11]	:	great !
[13:11]	:	Im sure many will want to visit once they see how pretty!
[13:11]	:	When that post is ready to go up, we will give you a notice in group so you do not miss it : )
[13:11]	:	are they visible somewhere already?
[13:11]	:	Also, I think this type project may continue.
[13:12]	:	The pictures are on various pjira right now Lisa
[13:12]	:	You can likely do a search for home page pictures and find them
[13:12]	:	cool :)
[13:12]	:	Update to CT application process is next topic
[13:13]	:	We talked about the idea of having new translators do some sample text translating prior to acceptance to the projects
[13:13]	:	We are going to do that :))
[13:13]	:	Who will 'judge' them?
[13:13]	:	Sample text is added to the new survey now and the language specialists we have will look them over.
[13:14]	:	If it is a language we do not have a specialist for...some of you may hear from me
[13:14]	:	If you dont mind?
[13:14]	:	:-)
[13:14]	:	I would give you a notecard and ask for your feedback
[13:15]	:	the french Jira pictures are here ; http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/CT-507
[13:15]	:	I will define and document that possible process soon. Then let you read about it.
[13:15]	:	Thanks link!
[13:15]	:	:)
[13:15]	:	french and swiss ^^
[13:15]	:	Next topic is............
[13:15]	:	Will existing members go through that process as well, Lexie?
[13:15]	:	Bulli - No
[13:16]	:	Just brand new people
[13:16]	:	ok
[13:16]	:	: ))
[13:16]	:	We all should ;)
[13:16]	 	smiles at Lisa
[13:16]	:	You think so?
[13:16]	:	I agree
[13:16]	:	j/k
[13:16]	:	lol
[13:17]	:	however.....lol
[13:17]	:	no problem
[13:17]	:	i agree with Lisa
[13:17]	:	I think those already in should be ok. The thinking is when we do a MOTD and get many more sign ups we will want to raise the bar to entry
[13:18]	:	yeahh
[13:18]	:	but the new ones could be better than us
[13:18]	:	The group is "smaller" now and if it grows it will be more efficient if we already know that new translators can translate reasonably well
[13:18]	:	hehe
[13:18]	:	better than you!!
[13:18]	:	Not possible
[13:18]	:	㋡
[13:18]	:	^^
[13:18]	:	loooool
[13:19]	:	:-D
[13:19]	:	SL Answers is the next topic
[13:19]	:	The test text is debateble. If I am a rubbish translator and you ask my opinion, you still end up with a rubbisch translation. Even while the original translation might be ok.
[13:20]	:	She'll ask RadioActive :)
[13:20]	:	eheheh
[13:20]	:	lol
[13:20]	:	If I ask for translator feedback on text..I will be asking more than one person to get a majority feel on it
[13:20]	:	i think i'tt nuke someone today...
[13:20]	:	: ))
[13:20]	:	that might be a wise move :)
[13:20]	:	i'll
[13:21]	:	I think so
[13:21]	:	When I used to ask for ad hoc translations in group...I got multiples and it allowed me to compare and see how many agreed
[13:21]	:	Same type thing I think
[13:21]	:	yeah
[13:21]	:	Maybe organized a bit better
[13:21]	:	lol
[13:22]	:	Sorry i gotta go :)
[13:22]	:	ok Sergen, thanks for coming!
[13:22]	:	ty lexie
[13:22]	:	bye all
[13:22]	:	bye sergen
[13:22]	:	bye bye
[13:22]	:	cu sergen =)
[13:22]	:	bye, cu
[13:22]	:	bye ㋡
[13:23]	:	Back to the next topic: SL Answers update and why it could matter to you
[13:23]	 	
[13:24]	:	SL Answers has been around since May 28th. During that time there have been over 184,000 views on 818 pages.
[13:24]	:	wow
[13:24]	:	This of course includes multiple language questions
[13:25]	:	This site has had no real promotion yet either.
[13:25]	:	If you look at the language channels you will see questions, but not as many as in English
[13:25]	:	with a lot of bad answers...
[13:25]	:	Whats interesting is that many of the language channels have ALOT of views
[13:26]	:	To me this means we have non English speakers looking for help in this space
[13:26]	:	So, if you would like to help out by working in teams, picking questions and answers you think are important...
[13:27]	:	Then translate the question and answer for a language...
[13:27]	:	please feel free to si it
[13:27]	:	ops
[13:27]	:	*to do it
[13:28]	:	If we get a good solid base of other language Q&A..it may help multiple language communities.
[13:28]	:	Of course its optional but I think it would be very worthwhile!
[13:28]	:	Are there many questions in other languages also?
[13:28]	:	Any thoughts? Like the idea..or not too interested
[13:29]	:	There are Lisa
[13:29]	:	Sometimes they dont end up in the right space/language channel
[13:29]	:	If I see them I move them to that language ctaegory
[13:29]	:	category*
[13:29]	:	how do we have access to the questions
[13:29]	:	yeah
[13:30]	:	Reading the front page of Answers will give you an idea of popular questions and recently answered questions
[13:30]	:	But remember, you need to do it with someone because you cannot answer your own question and mark it as helpful or correct
[13:31]	:	I also plan to add an Italian space there soon : )
[13:31]	:	ty...
[13:31]	:	I haven't really looked into it lately. Is there a Dutch section also already?
[13:31]	:	When we begin to promote I think we will see more Residents from other than English languages. We already have PR prepared in other languages
[13:31]	:	Not yet Lisa
[13:32]	:	Languages will be added over time
[13:32]	:	Also it depends on what the software supports for langauges
[13:32]	:	Right now..it does not support BR Portuguese
[13:32]	:	I am not sure why
[13:32]	:	That is something I am following up on ㋡
[13:33]	:	May we ask someone to join the team? there is an old italian forum that did a great job in answering people in italian and may be someone is interested... they did translate also TOS and CS aswell to make understand rules and netiquette
[13:33]	:	probably the character set or so....
[13:33]	:	Bianca...it would be great to point people at Answers
[13:33]	:	weird that it supports japanese but not BR portuguese... *ponders*
[13:33]	:	Its all about Residents helping Residents
[13:33]	:	even if they are not ct members?
[13:33]	:	Sure
[13:33]	:	right zai....lol
[13:33]	:	^^
[13:34]	:	we can translate CC and Tos ??
[13:34]	:	Many are there answering questions and they are not official volunteers...they just help!
[13:34]	:	Q&A is for everyone, right?
[13:34]	:	Right Lisa
[13:34]	:	don't think we can translate the ToS. to touchy with the legal stuff....
[13:34]	:	Things such as TOS or CC would not be translated there
[13:35]	:	Right
[13:35]	:	i do not know if was made by legal translators expert but it seems pretty well done the one they did in that italian forum
[13:36]	:	If you think it is good, you could send a link to Noelle about it. Let her take a look
[13:36]	:	Is there any indication how non-english speaking reach the Q&A website. Through the Dashboard or so?
[13:36]	:	okie tks
[13:36]	:	: ))
[13:36]	:	One minute on that question Lisa
[13:36]	:	Let me take a quick look
[13:38]	:	For the Answers main page : English, German, Dutch, Italian, French, BR Poruguese, Spanish
[13:38]	:	That is the order for most accesses
[13:39]	:	But there have been 63 languages total that have accessed that page
[13:39]	:	ok
[13:39]	:	For those who run Firefox as web browser there is an interesting plugin that is called RSS Ticker. You can add it as plugin and then subscribe the answers pages RSS. They will scroll over the browser bar and you can see new posts coming up...
[13:39]	:	Russian and Japanese are next
[13:39]	:	Nice Bianca! Thanks
[13:40]	:	yw... to make it easier lol
[13:40]	:	Any questions on anything I mentioned so far?
[13:40]	:	If not, any topics you wanted to bring up?
[13:41]	:	Anything on the CT promotion plans?
[13:41]	:	you answered all my Q! ㋡
[13:41]	:	Still want to do the MOTD. I have not scheduled it yet. I want to ask the team what they think good timing would be.
[13:42]	:	My guess is within the the next month
[13:42]	:	Then we will see how much response we get before we do another
[13:42]	:	Half december....just before the holidays might be a good time :)
[13:42]	:	Hmm yes, might be a good time!
[13:43]	:	ops my spiders lol
[13:43]	:	creepy
