FosseryWeb page-builders progress report:
Cheatsheet pages can now be fully generated (except some edge cases in the main content), plus there's now an extra line in the generated code to credit the author(s) of the cheatsheet below the title (since starting from the next update of FosseryWeb, everyone will be able to submit cheatsheets, or modify existing ones (in latter case, the script will automatically handle crediting multiple authors). And soon, FosseryWeb Min support will also be added, the script will generate the cheatsheet page for both sites in one go.

Ok, so i didn't have much time the past year to work on BitRitter, but recently at least i got the initial code working for translations.
I will try to set it up in the next weeks, so we can use the Weblate instance from @Codeberg .

Another thing i was working on in the rare free time was editing entries and saving them to the vault. I got bitten by framework specific stuff, so that will not be solved soon.

We now provide a hosted #weblate instance at https://translate.codefloe.com.

As a #foss tool, @weblate helps software projects manage, simplify, and refine their translations through a collaborative interface.

#LocalizationLab moves from #Transifex to their own #Weblate instance

To align our infrastructure with the open-source values and security needs of the communities we serve, Localization Lab is moving all projects from Transifex to a dedicated Weblate instance.

So I, as many other, will be open to contribute again.

Hello @Codeberg

Does your #weblate instance on https://translate.codeberg.org create the messages.pot (from python files) for me?

Hello @OpenCloud You have chosen Transifex as the translation service for your product. You have just started, so why not choose #weblate or a similar open platform? I ask because Transifex has restrictions for open source projects and future changes are not foreseeable.

Joining the #fosdem translations room today was fun, also spontaneously taking over A/V duty for the room was a nice experience. @orangesunny brought a great energy into the room despite the very hot air and the locked windows. Thank you!
