[sakai2-tcc] Addition proposal: Shared i18n

[May, Megan Marie]

Hi,  
   Was the i18n repository vetted prior to its addition to trunk?    

I have to say that I'm hesitant about changing tools to use the repository for  2.8 since so one has used it yet.   There could be unforeseen consequences . . . . .

Subject: [sakai2-tcc] Addition proposal: Shared i18n

Hi all,

After Friday's TCC discussion I've added a shared i18n proposal to http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/TCC/List+of+Planned+2.8.0+Changes

This proposal is a way to fix the following issue: lots of default i18n strings are duplicated across the Sakai code and this leads to duplication of translations.

The goal is to provide shared default strings and their translations that every tool relying on ResourceLoader for i18n can use.

I've created the i18n repository in config's trunk before the branching (see http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-15037), so this is available in 2.8. It can be considered off because no code in 2.8 currently uses it.

I've later created a fix using this for
http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-16738 but it's not merged into
2.8 yet.

My opinion is that such changes are bug fixes and I didn't think I needed to follow the addition proposal process. AFAICT, I was requested to submit this as a proposal. Feel free to quickly ask questions or make comments before a vote is requested.

I also thought changes such as those in SAK-16738 were small String changes and could still happen between Code and String Freeze. If you think differently, vote against the proposal so I don't hurry to fix things that won't make it into 2.8.

Cheers,

J-F
