Quality Assurance
I think we have to think about some QA system to make sure that the attention of reviewers (as soon as we have some) is pointed to the articles most in need.
We all (or must of us) are no fluent English-speakers, and we know that we cannot provide perfect translations. If everyone who translates something opens a thread to ask for review we will make pretty slow progress.
I propose the following:
- Whoever creates a translation may post it in the wiki.
- They then will think about the translation quality and will set one of these tags:
- o = Quite good, only minor correction needed, if at all
- oo = Needs a little review, not many errors expected.
- ooo = Needs minor attention.
- oooo = Needs major attention. Lots of correction needed.
- ooooo = Emergency. Partially rewrite may be necessary, while MTFs secure the premises.
- They then make a post in a special thread or use the chat to announce their translation, especially if ooo or above.
- Staff can raise the attention-level if they feel it's to low.
- Everyone who reviews the page removes one o.
- The last o can only be removed by someone speaking very good English, e.g. en-3 or higher.
- The last o will be replaced by _o, a hidden tag that isn't shown in the tag-list, but is usefull for automated lists.
- We will create automated lists with this tags, so reviewers are directly pointed to the pages most in need.
Please discuss.
