Translating python-ecology-lesson into Spanish

[orchid00]

Hello maintainers @wrightaprilm @trallard,

I've been working with a group of people into translating SWC lessons into Spanish. We would like to start translating a DC lesson (ping @ErinBecker). Since we already translated an R lesson a Python lesson seems to be a good start for this new project.
I would like to hear your thoughts before making a copy of this repo. Is this a good time? or are there any major changes coming up soon-ish? Any other recommendations that you can think of, for when we start sort of to keep things synchronized.

Happy to hear from you!

Hi @orchid00 -

@raynamharris had mentioned you might be in touch - so glad to see this project moving forward. We recently revamped the plotting and capstone lessons. They've survived their first contact with learners, so I think we shouldn't have major changes in the pipeline (@maxim-belkin, does this sound right to you?).

It's the end of the semester crunch time here, so I'm likely to be a big slow in my responses, but please do let me know if there's anything to support your efforts.

Are you using the slack channel? I have typically been a little resistant to the idea of integrating github notifications in slack, but integrating the github notifications for this repository into the dc-ecology-py channel might be helpful to provide a one-stop review of what, if anything, is changing in the repo. Would that be helpful?

Thanks @wrightaprilm. Yes I use slack, I'm not on that channel -yet- but, I'll join 👍 I also thought to leave this issue open for any comments from the community.

[wrightaprilm]

OK, sounds good. I'll tag this with some labels to let community members know they are welcome to discuss and participate.

@ErinBecker, I know there was a little discussion on the maintainers channel about GitHub integration with the lesson slack channels. It sounds like that might be helpful for keeping external folks (like Paula) up-to-date as they work on this task. Is it a possibility to enable this? Meredith's comments in the maintainers channel have more info - I regrettably don't know how to do this.

Edit:
Sorry, didn't mean to close.

Are there specific contributions that would be helpful? I was planning to tweet about this, perhaps we can come up with a couple contributions that would be especially needed. Maybe folks with ideas on how to keep the repos synced?

[orchid00]

Perfect @wrightaprilm! @trallard for the time being I just wanted to bring your attention to a few open PR's https://github.com/datacarpentry/python-ecology-lesson/pulls maybe it is possible to merge some of them. I've read all of them seem valid improvements, but also have some merge conflicts.
If you guys decide to leave them for a later revision or for further discussion, that is also fine. Please do let me know what is the final decision.

To keep things sync, I guess at the moment I can look at merged PR's while I agree an automatic notification of changes, would be cool! I'll explore that option in settings

[wrightaprilm]

There are a few open PRs ... they're mostly instructor check-out exercises no one bothered to respond to reviews on. I'll merge #312 at the end of the day today (in about 8 hours) if no one raises additional issues on it.

Very exciting stuff!

@orchid00, please record the hash (commit id) of this repository when you begin translating it. All translators should then git checkout that hash. Once you finish translating the lesson for that hash, release it and begin translating up to the latest hash again. There is no need to rush-merge pull requests in this repository.

@wrightaprilm, I'm not sure that all of the labels that you added are applicable to this issue. I'd say this is an example of cross-repository work and we don't have good labels for that kind of stuff.
