As a follow up to Contributor DayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/. at WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. London, I’d like to ask 3 simple questions to all the polyglot teams here. Answering shouldn’t take longer than a couple of minutes and would be greatly appreciated.

Context:

TL;DR: I’m asking to evaluate whether what has been on my mind lately addresses a real need, or an edge case.

During Contributor Day at WordCamp London I meant to contribute wireframes for commhub. Looking at what we have so far, though, questions rose (at least for me) whether our current MVPMinimum Viable Product "A minimum viable product (MVP) is a product with just enough features to satisfy early customers, and to provide feedback for future product development." - WikiPedia feature set really focusses the most pressing needs of communities we’re building commhub for. At their coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. those communities imo can be seen as language-centered, so there is an interrelationship/overlap with polyglots. (See mind-map from Contributor Day.)

Questions:

Where are you taking the revision numbers from? I assume core.trac.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ isn’t the right place?

Locale site changes being in progress, can I request some kind of menu bar synchronization between locale sites and locale forums, so that the menu is the same on the forums? At https://pl.wordpress.org/ we have a link to the forums in the main menu, but if you click it, you get an entirely new main menu, provided by bbPress. Can this be changed somehow?

Quick question. Where should I keep a log of the changes made in translation?

A question about the main http wordpress org…

A question about the main https://wordpress.org/ website – how is a user supposed to know there are localized versions of WP? There don’t seem to be any links. For some reason, I get a yellow box suggesting it’s available in German but German is way below Gaelic (the order I’m using is gd, en, de) in my preferred languages setting in Firefox and even if, not everyone who might want WP in language X uses a browser in language X. Am I missing something or is that just an oversight?

Because of that, I have an idea – maybe a new blog could be created, e.g. wppolyglots-announcements (though that is a really long name), on which only important announcements from the coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress.

This is totaaly weird, what is the reason of tags (3.x, 3.1.x, 3.2.x) in GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org. if the translations are not copied along?
I’m using my tool, localize to test the translations, and when I tried to switch to 3.2.x, it downloaded an empty .moMO files MO, or Machine Object is a binary data file that contains object data referenced by a program. It is typically used to translate program code, and may be loaded or imported into the GNU gettext program. This is the format used in a WordPress install. These files are normally located inside .../wp-content/languages/ file.

Which is wrong, because people will think that previous versions were not translated at all :/
