Hi Meftah, I'm more than happy to help with the documentation and anything else related to FreeSWITCH. As you mention the documentation and translation, there are some things that I would really like to improve in the documentation. I propose that we start a new documentation from the ground up, we really need a better wiki engine that supports inline translation and a better search engine. I'm open to do all the hard work like porting the entire documentation to it. We could put the new wiki on a sub-domain like: newdocs.freeswitch.org and I do all the work there, without affecting others. That way we could have inline documentation like this: <text:en>status - show status information</text> <text:es>status - mostrar informacion de estado</text> It's up to others to decide if this is really worth or not. I'm open to help and to give my time to improve things like documentation, etc :). Diego On Sun, Oct 18, 2009 at 8:08 PM, Meftah Tayeb <tayeb.meftah@gmail.com>wrote:

The other way we could do is set up a fr.freeswitch.org with mediawiki on it and you start to translate from the English wiki. But I think inline translation would be better for this. Just my two cents. Diego On Sun, Oct 18, 2009 at 11:13 PM, Diego Viola <diego.viola@gmail.com> wrote:

Take a look at this for instance, for an example of inline translation: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/ Check the: "Translations of this page" -- all in the same page, I'd love to have something like that for FreeSWITCH. Along with a good search engine on the wiki (not Google). Diego On Sun, Oct 18, 2009 at 11:17 PM, Diego Viola <diego.viola@gmail.com> wrote:

There are some plugins for mediawiki to support multilanguage, either inline or on a separate page. However, both have Pros and Cons. e.g. multi-language support this with a separate page some_page #default to en some_page/fr Franch some_page/zh Chinese Pros: clear, available languages can be listed in "Other languages for this page" Cons: hard to keep all languages in sync other plugins can do inline translation: <@en|hello> <@fr|Ca Va> <@zh|你好> Pros: untranslated items remains in default lang, no sync headache Cons: It breaks a page into sentences or items, also if we have more than 10 languages the source code maybe really a mess. 2009/10/19 Diego Viola <diego.viola@gmail.com>

Is there a good wiki engine which allows the documentation to be edited as files in a file system as well as via a Web interface - something like Ikiwiki which uses Git or another version control system to store the files, perhaps? On occasion I have wished I could add to or update the wiki easily, but there are two problems. 1. The current wiki requires a captcha to be completed in order to register an account. I can't see the captcha - this is an accessibility issue. 2. Editing anything through a Web interface is painful. If I could edit the content as files in Emacs or Vim it would be much easier, and I would be more likely to do it instead of deciding that the difficulty and inconvenience are simply too great. Obviously this is only one person's perspective: other people will have very different needs from mine.
