Thanks wobo :-p Well, there is a blogteam in formation, but all
mageia-blogteam@ people will be in the loop for that.

There is a list mageia-blogteam@ where all editors/translators gather,
but it's private (because all moderation of comments go there, with
IPs, messages, etc.).

As a boring summary, the current rules for the blog
edition/translation are, as defined in a post on the list above (see
the archives - we ought to post it on the wiki as a public policy as
well now I guess - actually, I just slapped dams so he does it):

 a. all blogs must translate project news from English-pivot one to
local ones; no summary of several posts into one, no full rewrite, but
clearly translation of the original (with all freedom allowed to
translator so that it best fits the locale);

 b. local events may be posted on the local server, with notification
of the blogteam for cross distribution of the news if relevant; but
this is not yet clearly enforced and it requires anyway that a. is
applied already.

Of course this policy is open to discussion among involved people, but
it ought to be put into action first.

Cheers!
