Meeting started

Clarify Ambiguous (outdated) Baka-Tsuki guidelines.[edit]

"is the one week requirement to complete a new chapter

choice 1) keep it 2) extend it to a month 3) remove it 

<Kira0802> 3.
<Vallor> 2/3
<stellarroze> 2.
<krytyk> 1
<Misogi> 3
<Lery> 3
<cloudii> 3
<Lord-Simon> 3
<Darkoneko> 3

Majority to remove it.

consensus seems to expect a new project to already have material ready (like a prologue/intro already translated), rather than start from zero DarkoNeko talk 08:40, 30 March 2014 (CDT)

teaser status / ATP[edit]

random questions during chat mode (to complete)

  • Should teasers be an intermediate step in the creation of a project ?
  • What about teasers where the translator know already that (s)he'll be too busy to continue (and made than in hope another translator picks the project up) ?
  • Translators often tag something as a project in hope to get it to the side bar/categories and give it visibility
  • Every project seems to start by being tagged as a teaser for some reason (misuse ?)


Vote of new modus operandi : 

1). Teaser tag is the default tag to be put on new project
2). When the teaser reaches the requirements for full project, translator tags Pending
