Guided website editing demo today

I will give a demonstration on how the Gerrit editing of the work-in-progress website works today at 16:00 UTC+0.

The room is https://jitsi.documentfoundation.org/websitedemo

The idea is that someone shares their screen and I guide them in making some simple edits to the website. I will record the session, so it can be shared with others.

Here is a recording of me guiding Daniel in doing a simple edit:

I am hosting it on my own site, because Nextcloud still has a bug preventing public file shares.

As mentioned in the video, Gerrit 3.4 will have a simplification of the needed steps. They added a "Publish" button into the editor itself.

What is left to the imagination is a preview of the edited site. A link to it would appear in a Gerrit comment by automation.

Further improvements to Gerrit itself might include

- start editing a particular file directly from the Gitiles file list
- full directory listings and navigation in the file adding dialog, so you don't have to know what you are after
- ProseMirror plugin for a more word processor -like experience https://prosemirror.net/examples/markdown/

These need an experienced JavaScript developer, but I am constantly recruiting for such a role.

When I am translating in Weblate, the field into which I am typing my translation (the field just below the English source string field) is always spell checked as English text, but it is in my language (Esperanto). I have looked for a way to set the language of the translation field but not found anything about it. It seems to be such an obvious thing to have. Is there somewhere it can be set?

Which browser do you use?

#6

I use either Firefox or Opera on LinuxMint. They both behave the same in this regard.

#7

Have you tried “apt install aspell-eo”? After a restart, the browser
should pick it up

#8

I have installed aspell and rebooted. No difference.
