Thanks a lot for creating the page Kenneth! :)

While I'd like to co-maintain the page, if it's not technically possible
right now, I don't see any problem in you or any other member of the UTC
team being the sole admin, as long as you want to maintain the page.

Everyone in this list is a respected member of the global Ubuntu
translations community, and I personally love the fact that community
members feel empowered to take the initiative.

You bring up a good point, though. Ever since I started, I've tried to
keep communications and resources public and transparent to foster
community participation and contribution.

However, one area I could improve is in the administration (boring
stuff, though :) and maintenance (a bit more exciting in the case of
posting news and announcements about awesome translations stuff :) of
our resources. We should perhaps diversify the maintenance, or inline
with the "rotating tasks" discussion, perhaps rotate maintenance within
those interested.

So in terms of other Ubuntu translations resources, just making a list
off the top of my head:

- ubuntu-translators mailing list (effectively one admin: myself)
- ubuntu-translations-coordinators mailing list (one admin: myself)
- ubuntu-translators IRC channel (one admin: zyga, I think)
- ubuntu-translations project (not sure if owned by Adi Roiban or I)
- ubuntul10n Twitter account (one admin: myself)
- ubuntul10n Identi.ca account (one admin: myself)
- Ubuntu Translations portal (one admin: myself)
- Ubuntu Translators Facebook page (two admins: Jono and I)
- Ubuntu Translators Google+ page (one admin: Kenneth)

Mailing lists
-------------

* Administration: moderate posts, discard spam, etc. I use listadmin
almost every day, so I'm usually on top of things.
* Maintenance: basically, keeping communications flowing, posting
announcements, participating in discussions, etc. Anyone subscribed can
do it.

In short, not much help needed, but happy to add anyone on this list as
an extra mailing list owner.

IRC
---

* Administration: I've done none of it so far
* Maintenance: basically keeping communications flowing, change the
channel's topic, etc. Anyone in the channel can do it.

In short, no help needed, and I'm not the owner myself.

Ubuntu Translations project in Launchpad
----------------------------------------

* Administration: set up the bug tracker, code, answers, etc.
* Maintenance: the way it's set up, I believe all maintenance tasks can
either be done by the UTC team (e.g. bug triaging) or anyone with an
account in Launchpad (e.g. answering support requests). We can also post
news through an RSS feed, but I've stopped doing that in favour of
Facebook/mailing list/blog posts.

No need to add any admin, but we need more help in keeping on top of the
Answers system. We've been seriously lacking there in the past few
months (I blame myself for it, though).

Microblogging (twitter/identi.ca)
---------------------------------

* Administration: set up the picture and the group description. It was
just a one-off
* Maintenance: keep tweets/dents flowing! :)

I could do with some help with people wanting to tweet/dent from the
ubuntul10n accounts, so I'd be happy to give the account details to
anyone on this list.

Ubuntu Translations portal
--------------------------

* Administration: deal with Canonical IS to install plugins/updates and
theme updates, set up plugins, set up internal Drupal settings, etc.
* Maintenance: once set up, keep blog post flowing. In the future,
expand the site with more resources and make it translatable (it is
already, but need to come up with a plan to integrate it with Launchpad).

I'd like to work on this this cycle, and I do need help on this one. So
anyone with Drupal or web skills (sysadmin, html, php, css, etc), feel
free to chip in!

The same for anyone wanting to help with content rather than the
technical side (e.g. porting documentation from the wiki, writing
articles/blog posts, etc.).

Facebook
--------

* Administration: set up the picture and the group description. It was
just a one-off
* Maintenance: keep posts flowing! :) Upload pictures and videos

I could do with some help with people wanting to post from the account,
so I'd be happy to make anyone on this list an admin.

Google+
-------

* Administration: set up the picture and the group description. It was
just a one-off
* Maintenance: keep posts flowing! :) Upload pictures and videos

I'm not familiar with G+ pages yet, so I'll let Kenneth explore how they
work and tell us if he needs help :)

What would be really cool
-------------------------

To automate sending Ubuntu Translations-related announcements/posts to
all of our social network channels automatically.

Right now, I can do this to some extent with Gwibber, but it only works
for sending the same message at once to twitter and identi.ca.

So any ideas welcome here!

I'd say if you're happy with it, let's keep it like that for now. I
myself still don't know what we can do with pages :)

Cheers,
David.
