      MSGID: 1:396/45.29@fidonet eeb86e2d       REPLY: 2:310/31.3@fidonet eeba2988       PID: OpenXP/5.0.49 (Win32)       CHRS: ASCII 1       TZUTC: -0400       Hello Martin!              ** On Wednesday 24.03.21 - 13:55, you wrote to me:               AA>> Here is section I.0               MF> Yes, very nice :)              Except for a couple of words that duplicated, I thought the        result was pretty good too!               AA>> So.. if we were to engage in this project, we would need to        AA>> settle on using the same svn program I suppose.               MF> No, not at all, each user would be free to use whatever svn client they        MF> chose, even the commandline version of svn would do. In fact, that may        MF> well be easier for the new svn user because it's only really necessary to        MF> learn 3 basic commands(checkout, update and commit).              Hmmm. I installed tortoisesvn on my win7 DT pc but nothing        seemed to load. I got a message saying "Read the manual!" :/               MF> I wouldn't really recommend SmartSVN if you're new to version control, I        MF> feel that TortoiseSVN would be the better choice. The only reason I use        MF> SmartSVN is because there isn't a Linux version of TortoiseSVN.              The latest tortoisesvn versions don't support XP. But apparently        I can fetch an older version.               MF> However, I don't see the point of trying it out just yet because I        MF> haven't seen any volunteers step forward and therefore, there's no        MF> repository to try it out on.              But I could use some practice first, with your help - and        experiment with the paragraphs in section I for starters.              What minimum # of people do you envision should participate in        the translation project? DeepL can work with 5000 chars at a        time. The fido.tx file is about 133K chars. That would make it        about 26 or 30 files in the depository?              From the sounds of it, svn is something I should have been using        all along especially for the invoices that I sometimes need to        modify and keep track of what was changed.              Apparently tortoisesvn "integrates" into windows explorer (the        file management display) but I can't seem to figure out how to        get started with anything.               AA>>>> But I suppose we would need a webbased versioning        AA>>>> system, not a local one for participants/editors?               AA>> Oh.. and one person is designated as managing and releasing the        AA>> final "master" copy?               MF> Yes, there would need to be a project coordinator.       --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.49        * Origin: The ONLY point that matters! -> . <- (1:396/45.29)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 19/25 33 90/1 105/81 106/633 987 120/340 123/131 124/5014       SEEN-BY: 124/5016 129/305 130/803 154/10 203/0 221/0 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 227/702 229/101 424 426 664 700 1016 1017 240/2100 5138 5411       SEEN-BY: 240/5824 5832 5853 249/206 317 400 261/38 280/464 5003 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 387/25 26 396/45 423/120 712/848 770/1 2432/390 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 2454/119       PATH: 396/45 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
