More hands on deck for approving/activating new translator accounts #40
Comments
I volunteer to help. I already have admin permissions on localize.backdropcms.org - I just need my email added to the people that get notifications when new accounts are created. |
Thanks for helping! Before I add your email to the notifications, let me share the current workflow. (Will do it later in this thread.) |
Documentation of the current workflowUse case: A person wants to contribute to the Backdrop translation of a specific language. (1) Prospective contributor registers for user account
(2) Site manager activates the account
(3) Site manager checks for language and translation group Dependent on the contributor message, there are two possible situations: the language of interest exists on the translation server, or it doesn't exist yet. If it doesn't exist, the language and the respective translation group have to be created first:
(4) Site manager gets in touch with contributor Assumption: Language and translation group exist
(5) Manage new group membership When the new contributor applies for group membership, the group author receives an email notification.
(6) Repackage language release When a contributor has imported or translated many language strings, the files have to be repackaged.

Thank you @olafgrabienski 🙏 ...I've added all that as a first version here: https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/blob/master/procedures/localize--account-activations.md. We can improve the process as we go 😉 |
Where do you add more people to be notified @olafgrabienski? I had a quick look at the rules and trigger/actions configured on the site, but couldn't spot me email anywhere. |
@klonos Thanks für adding the steps from above to the Procedures!
It's the action "Send e-mail about new account to a site manager", see |
Currently, only @olafgrabienski gets notified when new accounts are created in localize.backdropcms.org. He then has to manually activate the accounts, and communicate with people that want to contribute to specific language.
Ideally, we should automate these notifications, so that they go in a Zulip stream (same as we do for new forum posts). That way, we could crowd-source the activation of the accounts and the onboarding of new translators.
Till that happens, we should have more people help @olafgrabienski out.
