NoseRub 0.8 postponed, but translations can be made!

Our plan was to test NoseRub 0.8 on Identoo.com for a week and then build the package for the official release.

The transition went smoothless, new features like internationalization, comments and favorites work great and even the distributed comments work in general.

But the internal structure of how NoseRub manages accounts, feeds, entries and comments needs a major rework. We could apply a quick patch, but this would only mean to have a lot of duplicate data in the database. As we want to be able to scale up and also try to have a clean and good design, we decided to postpone NoseRub 0.8 at least until christmas.

As you all know, the time before x-mas and between the years (as we Germans tend to call the time until new years eve) is pretty busy. Positively pretty with lots of food, familiy and friends, but busy nevertheless. So, please apologize if you won’t be able to upgrade your NoseRub installation while your familiy is sitting by the christmas tree.

But we will try to give you something to play around, when all the other new gadgets loose their excitment

In other good news, I finally set up translations with Launchpad. A big “thank you” to Stefan Haab for originally setting up the account.

Everyone now can add a translation for NoseRub or add missing phrases. You just need to register and set your own languages. After that, you can start contributing. Launchpad is hosted by the people that do Ubuntu Linux, so don’t be afraid that your data is used against your will - at least I’m not afraid! And you can log in via OpenID, so go ahead and use your NoseRub ID to start translating NoseRub to your favorite language.

Whenever you have questions regarding a phrase, please ask the in discussion group, so that others can profit from these questions and answers.

Attention! If you want to translate into French or Turkish, please wait a few days, as importing the already available translations takes some time to process by Launchpad.
