As a project maintainer I need to get quick overview of all translations for my project and see exact dates of last edits. So I can decide quickly is there new translations available I need to download from LP and package into release.
In examples below I'm talking about QBzr project.
In the past (before new version of LP was rolled out today June 24, 2009) I can go to main translation page (https://translations.launchpad.net/qbzr) where I saw translations for my language(s) only and I saw link below it to open overview page with all languages. On that overview page with all languages I saw column with dates of Last Edit. Then I can click on column header and sort translations by date. Then I saw if there is new translations since last release.
So basically I was need to use 1-2 clicks to get the info I need.
Today, when I'm opening the main page https://translations.launchpad.net/qbzr I don't see the direct link to overview page with dates. I see overview of all languages but without dates.
Today to obtain dates I need I should:
1) click on the link at the bottom of the page named "QBzr trunk series". Note: this link does not sign to me will I find what I need.
2) This link leads to page: https://translations.launchpad.net/qbzr/trunk/+translations but there I don't see dates *again*. And I don't really know what to do.
3) In IRC jtv suggested that I should click on "Templates" link. BTW this link is not available on main page https://translations.launchpad.net/qbzr, but available on https://translations.launchpad.net/qbzr/trunk/+translations
4) If I'm click on link Templates I'm going to page https://translations.launchpad.net/qbzr/trunk/+templates. On this page I don't see dates either. There is table with template names. I'm click on qbzr template name.
5) And only now I'm get that old page with dates (https://translations.launchpad.net/qbzr/trunk/+templates).
So my road to get the info with dates now 4 times longer than before. It's bad for me as regular release manager and project maintainer (I'm using LP since 2006), and IMO this is absolute show-stopper for newbies.
Please, provide some alternate and *simple* way to obtain date of newest translation of project to help project maintainers and release managers like me. |
