Meeting Minutes: Sep 9, 2025

Notes

We’re a bit disorganized in tracking action items
We’ll go through the action items and todos from the last meeting
TODO: find out where they are coordinating online (mariatta)
Who are the Edu & Outreach? Kattni, Keith the ee, Nicholas Tollervey, Jeff Jacobson, Sheena
What is the purpose? To learn what they’re doing, what we’re doing, what’s the overlap.
TODO: find out from the translators what happens when the source docs change
- Are we still needed here?
There is inconsistency with the different translations groups. Do they need to be consistent?
We now get Transifex funded through the PSF core devs fund.
But there are other competing options.
Do we want to remain in the business of translations? Can we delegate to another group?
Should we be explicit in saying we want a sub WG? What do we want this group to be?
- To coordinate and to support the translations effort
- Example: Adam Turner led the work about Transifex
- What is involved in all of this?
- Translation teams are often well meaning volunteers, who haven’t thought about the tools they need and the amount of work involved.
- Being added to python-docs-somelanguage requires some vetting and giving access. There needs to be an institutional owner.
- People who want to translate may not be the ones who want to be coordinating.
- We want them to form a WG (not a person).
- Python SC has a formal process for creating new WG (eg the way we create this Board through a PEP)
- We can also create our own WG and have the WG report to us.
- We can ask in the translations if they want to form a group.
- TODO: Ned will follow up with updates from devguide and ask the translations team (this is done: https://discord.com/channels/935215565872693329/1102686540007747586/1415080055796666378)
Ned has PRs to the CPython docs
Sorting the glossary: https://discuss.python.org/t/101778/2: sounds like a great idea
