PRD
P1 Registration process
- require an account registration to submit content on verbatim.
Get the following info:- email contact info
- how you want to be listed on the contributor page(s) (optional)
- show licensing information and what responsibilities you have in participating in translation work
- link to team pages (https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Teams) and/or how to get in touch with other contributors for the language
- get back an e-mail message to verify account and reminder of responsibilities
P2 Four levels of permissions
- a) just logged in users that have completed step 1
- (can submit suggestions)
- can change admin panel to use as the way to request additional privs for a particular locale
- can add/modify/remove yourself from the contributors list (option to use user name, or full name or what ever you want) -- ask for full display name and Family name. sort by family name -- as Mozilla credits page does.
- b) new localizers
- (can review suggestions, translate, commit for a specific locale)
- c) locale module owners
- (can review suggestions, translate, commit, give "B" permission to other registered users for a specific locale)
- d) admins
- (for maintainers, like Kadir, or stas; can grant all permission for a locales)
P2 when new permissions are granted
- log the event
- send e-mail to the grantee to inform them of additional responsibility.
- additional responsibility requires no new committer or other agreement.
How recognition works:
- P1: a) Have a central credits page on Verbatim, that lists all (650+) contributors (everyone who has an account gets to be on that page) (acceptable)
or
- b) have an API to retrieve specific contributors to any site, and show that more smaller list as the contributors for the site. (preferred) - need to figure out threshold for this kind of recognition.
