Proposal for open letter to botanical gardens #346

Closed comradekingu closed 6 years ago

comradekingu commented 6 years ago

We should write a letter inviting botanical gardens to join ghini. It would be useful if it had some options for what capacity volunteers are able to contribute in. Some might, as I, need help translating the more specialist terms.

mfrasca commented 6 years ago

you're thinking of a modular letter? something like what we already have as welcome letter?
I have started collecting, cutting, glueing pieces of letters I've sent recently, and I've just added it as a document page, even if I'm not so sure we should include it in the documentation index. if you want to have a look, you can already comment on what you miss. but I'm quite sure I'm missing the point you're making in the last two sentences, if you want to elaborate, thank you!

if you want to have an updated look, it's closing time here now.

mfrasca commented 6 years ago

oh, more stuff you can use to publicize ghini... CubaPanel84.pdf translating it would be tricky, because you have to match the formatting. if you want to attempt that, I can send you the odt.

mfrasca commented 6 years ago

you know something, I think we could have one page with several templates documents, that people can re-use if they think they want to contribute to Ghini. we already have two (open-invitation, welcome-letter), but also the letter I sent to you when first contacting you, could also be included here, so it's more open to contributions, and available for native speakers who want to volunteer translations. having them in one page gives us the space to explain what to do with the rest of the text.

Any letter needs to be translated, so that must be first order or business. Not even I read all of the letter I got. We need simple. Get the minimum message across, then follow up. A foot in the door.

We need simple

oh, then I think I should leave this to others. in Italian, one would say: "prolisso" and "ipotassico".

@comradekingu , you happened to have time for this? regards, MF

comradekingu commented 6 years ago

@mfrasca Sure, send it to me. I think I can reduce it down quite a bit.

mfrasca commented 6 years ago

"send it"? it's in the repository, here. fork, edit, and propose. or copy/paste, and send it to me by email, also good. but the source is over there. thank you!!!

@mfrasca Though not the actual content of the PDF, I had a go https://github.com/Ghini/ghini.desktop/pull/405
