Become a maintainer

i18n maintainers are responsible for:

• coordinating the continuous update process of a specific localized version of the website
• translating news items (from en/) as quickly as possible
• reviewing pull requests and be nice and helpful to contributors

Maintainers hence gain push rights to the repository, so that they may skip using pull requests (for instance, when translating a news item). Using pull requests is still considered a good practice in many cases, though. Maintainers are, unless exception, not able to deploy in production.

Each language is supervised by a team of at least 2 maintainers. No language without such a team of dedicated editors will be featured on the production server.

This a long-run, volunteer position with a few requirements. Would you be:

• proficient in both your native language and English
• detail-oriented
• willing to review localized pull-requests as they pop out
• git qualified

then you may be a good fit :) Please consider applying with your rational by creating a new issue, here, on this project.

When considering bootstrapping a new language, please keep in mind you must be at least 2 editors, willing to back the section in the long-term. Otherwise, consider contributing every once in a while, this is fine too!
