No, that doesn't help us with the contributor agreement problem
unfortunately but thanks for the thought.
The conclusion unfortunately is that we do need the CA to be signed by
all translators. So please can you go ahead and setup a group to control
access to the Xara LX project in Rosetta?
Presumably users who try to access the project when they are NOT members
of the Xara LX group, will be refused entry. At this point we need to
show them a message telling them how to proceed and pointing them at our
web site for the CA. I'll provide text and link for this if that's ok.
Each time we receive a signed CA, we'll contact you to ask you to give
the user access to Xara LX in rosetta. What information do you need from
the user for this? Is just their email address as registered with
rosetta enough? How do we provide this info to you?
Ideally, we'd have an automatic way of adding a user to the group to
avoid delays. Please let me know if this is possible.
Then the user will need to be told they have access. Can you do this?
Otherwise there will be more delay if it has to come back to us again to
do this.
I'll need to contact all the translators that have already contributed
to the Xara LX project. Can you provide me with a list of names and
email addresses or can you suggest a better way? Please leave the Xara
LX project disabled until I confirm we have all those who have already
contributed signed up.
I'm sorry this is so painful - but we really would like translations to
be done in Rosetta!
Thanks
Neil
