Moving translations wiki

[hturner]

From R Contributors Slack:

Move translations wiki to separate site, e.g. bookdown/Quarto/MkDocs, to give more control over layout and make it easier for people to contribute.

This could take over the translations repo and we could move the dashboard to a translations-dashboard repo so they get deployed at https://contributor.r-project.org/translations and https://contributor.r-project.org/translations-dashboard respectively.

I can do it. Will go for quarto and gh actions. Could somebody move and create the repos?

[hturner]

I have renamed the old translations repo to translations-dashboard and created a new translations repo.

So you should be ready to deploy something to https://contributor.r-project.org/translations. Note that this isn't linked anywhere from the main site yet so is somewhat private until we do that. It would be good to add a link to the dashboard so people can still find that.

If we create a new repo instead of repurposing the old one, should we migrate the issues as well? E.g. all the weblate related tickets and the weblate project dashboard.

@jmaspons I would like to collaborate on this with you if needed. I'll be away for a week but can help with this from sept 25 foward.

Once the new GH page is ready, we should probably also set up a blank wiki in the new repo pointing to it, so that the (currently dead) URLs pointing to the original wiki (e.g. https://github.com/r-devel/translations/wiki/Conventions-for-translations) can point the visitor to the right place.

@daroczig yes, the current issues are a mix of ones for the dashboard and weblate. I think it would make sense to transfer the weblate ones to the new repo - I'm not sure how easy it is to move a project board, but the issues can be transferred easily enough and if necessary added to a new project board.

[daroczig]

I've migrated over all weblate-related tickets and also reassociated the weblate project to the new repo :+1:

The wiki is now quarto website! Take a look at https://github.com/r-devel/translations (all wiki history preserved)

I added a github workflow to render and publish to gh-pages, but we have a custom domain and I think it should be configured differently. Can somebody configure the deployment of the web?

Improvements:

• [x] Add LICENSE. Which?
• [x] Make a logo (or add the standard R)

[jmaspons]

Web deployed to https://contributor.r-project.org/translations/

[hturner]

I'm not sure a logo is necessary - it looks fine as is to me.

I haven't written the content, but I would suggest CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) - we used this for the R Dev Guide and I think it is commonly adopted for community websites (e.g. Forwards uses it too: https://forwards.github.io/).

[jmaspons]

Most of the contributors agreed to license the web to CC BY 4.0 https://r-contributors.slack.com/archives/C0210D7EN1X/p1695743347136759

Waiting for confirmation from @alswajiab , @bjungbogati , @imanalhasani , @MichaelChirico & @shun2wang ,

[jmaspons]

I would say this task is done. I created a home page in the wiki pointing to the web, but no redirects for each page. Is this enough?

[willingc]

Devguide is updated now.

[hturner]

I have also update the navigation on the main contributor page, so people can find the new translation pages from there!

I think we have done enough now to close this issue - thanks everyone!
