Re: [Koha-translate] Arabic Koha Translation Contribution - who done what

*Dear Mr. Massoud , * First I would like to thank you and your team for your efforts in managing the Arabic translation work for recent releases . Koha is open-source software and anyone can contribute to it and everyone who contribute should get credit for that , this is very known in open source communities . if someone developed something in old releases of Koha his name will never be removed from contributors list , no matter how old is that version ! https://koha-community.org/about/history/ Me and Kouider and others here <http://translate.koha-community.org/ar/>have contributed for for previous work of Koha translation , and it will never be fair to remove our names from contributors list ( at least from my point of view ) . The fair statement is the statement that can mention the efforts of everyone contributed . And by the way any of us and anyone new has the right to contribute in translation work . so maybe if possible to generate a link from the translation system that lists all contributes ( this one lists only top ones <http://translate.koha-community.org/ar/>) that would be much more fair . as some contributors have contributed for small translations work and their efforts must also never be dismissed . *Thank you very much . * On Thu, Sep 14, 2017 at 3:31 AM, Massoud Alshareef <massoud(a)kwareict.com> wrote: > Hello friends, > > On Jan 24, 2016 I sent an email (below) to Mr. Bernardo to please update/ > correct the Translator credit statement in Arabic Koha; then again I sent > the same (updated) email (below) to Mr. Bernardo on Dec 28, 2016 asking > for the same.
