[bovi]

The last activity on zh_cn was also end of 2011 and the original maintainer weren't active since then. I will work a bit on it but due to the reason that I'm not native it will be a bit slow.

I remember that there was a discussion about the announcement of the move to Git. Maybe we should collect all the languages whoch are un-maintained and request for help inside of the announcement too.

[AndorChen]

i would like to be one of the Simplified Chinese maintainers.

[bovi]

@AndorChen great!

[songjiayang]

I would like to be one of he Simplified Chinese maintainers too, although english is my challenge still ...

[chenyukang]

I'd like to be one of Simplified Chinese maintainers too,

[mytrile]

Hey, guys, I'm the guy behind the bulgarian version of the old Radiant based website.
I'm little busy at the moment learning for an exam, but will get my hands dirty next week.

Congrats on the migration 👍

[fuadsaud]

I may help with pt translations.

[dabit]

I would like to become the es maintainer

[take]

I'll help ja translations :)

[vic]

Hey, along with @dabit I'd could also help with spanish translations.

[ghost]

Hola, yo puedo ayudar con las traducciones en español.
Ciao, io posso aiutare con le traduzioni in italiano.

(Hello, I can help with translations in spanish and italian).

[badosu]

Still needing pt mantainers?

[hsbt]

Welcome to www.ruby-lang.org team ❤️

I added maintainer's grant to @fuadsaud @mytrile @dabit @vic @hagarelvikingo @hagarelvikingo @tkhr @fuadsaud @songjiayang @chenyukang .

If you have a time, Please translate release announce of latest rubies. #136 🕛

@AndorChen I can't added you into maintainer team. it seems github's problem. I reported this. Please wait a little more.

[take]

🎉

@hsbt are there any places u want me to translate?(since my job is to upgrade old contents, would help if u tell me some pages which are old)

[stomar]

Welcome all! And please have a look at the Wiki before starting to commit.

[postmodern]

@hsbt did you add @badosu as a maintainer?

[gcapizzi]

I'm in for italian! 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹

[ghost]

@gcapizzi me too, but you're a native speaker, it should be much easier for you.

[gcapizzi]

@hagarelvikingo we should be able to sort it out together 😉

[mlen]

I'd like to volunteer for pl_PL.

[takashi]

i would like to help ja translations :)

[stomar]

@hsbt, @postmodern, @chikamichi We do not have any review process, do we?

Maybe we should have pull requests as a first stage before granting commit bits.

[trmmy]

I'd like to be the ja maintainer, too

[take]

agree with @stomar 👍

Since most of the language will have more than 2 maintainers, review process sounds legit :)

[dabit]

To all new contributors and maintainers you should read the Contributing Guidelines and it's worth noting this particular part of it:

https://github.com/ruby/www.ruby-lang.org/wiki#corrections-on-translated-site

[take]

@dabit thx! 👯

[hsbt]

We do not have any review process, do we?

I confirmed contributor's profile before granting commit bit. but I agreed your idea such as offered to create pull request to contributor before granting commit bit.

[stomar]

To all contributors (maintainers or not): A good place to start--besides the recent news posts--might be any issue marked with translation, especially #86.

[chikamichi]

Hum, that was kind of a bold move granting all those commit rights without any "motivation checks", but well, let's try this way 👍 I guess, if by the end of next week, some of the new volunteers didn't actually show up, we could always refine the access list.

The thing is, now https://github.com/ruby/www.ruby-lang.org/wiki/Team is outdated. First live test: @fuadsaud @mytrile @dabit @vic @hagarelvikingo @hagarelvikingo @tkhr @fuadsaud @songjiayang @chenyukang, could you append your credentials on this page? :)

[chenyukang]

@chikamichi done!

[ghost]

@chikamichi done for my job, but... what if I want to help in more than one language?

[take]

@chikamichi done :)

[mytrile]

Just added myself too

[take]

@hagarelvikingo i think u just need to say that u want to... :P

according to https://github.com/ruby/www.ruby-lang.org/wiki/Become-a-maintainer

When considering bootstrapping a new language, please keep in mind you must be at least 2 editors, willing to back the section in the long-term. Otherwise, consider contributing every once in a while, this is fine too!

[chenyukang]

@chikamichi is this need to translated?
http://www.ruby-lang.org/zh_cn/documentation/ruby-from-other-languages/to-ruby-from-python/
since it's still en version at zh_cn.

[fuadsaud]

Hmm, the pt translations are heavily based on Portugese from Portugal. It differs a lot from Brazilian Portuguese (which is the one I speak) :\

@badosu do you think we can figure it out?

[take]

@chenyukang i think you should open a new issue/pr for that :D

[stomar]

@chenyukang There are a couple of pages not translated in zh_cn. If you want to translate make sure to use the current en version as basis, since the version in zh_cn is outdated.

[chatgris]

I'll be glad to support @nono and @chikamichi on the french translation.

[chikamichi]

woot! @chatgris speaks/reads Japanese so he would be very much helpful, and I trust him to be meticulous. @nono is that OK for you?

[badosu]

@fuadsaud I am pt-br too

[mlen]

@chikamichi I can't get started with translating till the next week, because I have lots of exams this week (still studying).

[hsbt]

I added commit bit for @crabonature (pl) , @gazay (ru) and @gozali (id). They are already contribute this repository via pull requests

[hsbt]

We got a lot of maintainers and volunteers. this issue closes once.

[ghost]

@gazay @gozali @crabonature welcome!

[postmodern]

Suggestion, it might be easier to manage contributors by creating teams for each translation (ex: ruby/www-ruby-lang-org-pl).

[gazay]

Thanks! 👍

[crabonature]

Sweet @hsbt ❤️ Welcome @hagarelvikingo and welcome to all!!
