[Mediawiki-l] Collaborative edition of translation

[Jordi Domingo]

(I didn't answered to mediawiki-I directly and with the gmail gestor I
don't know if it was received by all the list...)

Well, I reply my answer directly to mediawiki-I, but even if you have
received, there's something new, I changed the index.php only the line
action="view" for action="edit" and now the Main Page opens as editing
as I want! :)

Now, I'm going to attempt the cur_text not only goes in the editable
part of the page, but also in the non-editable, the relative the
copyrights and other stuff. Then I have to make that cur_text reads
from a .po file and there will be a prototype! (very alpha andthere
will be other work, as cathalog gestion, but will be a great step
forward).

As I say in my previous message, I only hope to not be horribly wrong ;)

Thanks

Jordi

Ok, lot of thanks Richard!

However, I see the editable stuff is a link to an editable page... now
I see that maybe what I'm searching is precisely the edit page! (that
is, any page with &action=edit). That's it, when action is edit you
can modify the upper part, but not the lower (the copyright advices).

As my objective is to have the text of a .po file in a page, but a
part editable and other not, I suppose the next step is pass to the
page the part I want as editable and the part I don't want editable
(both marked, one as msgid, the original in english and non-editable,
and other as msgstr, the translation in catalan, maybe initially
empty, editable). And that is, studying as the action=edit works, and
attempting to make it as initial page, redirectioning the .po input as
mentioned.

I'll work forward in this direction...if somebody thinks I'm horribly
wrong, or has some advice, please tell me! ;)
