Hi, I would like to contribute to Fedora Wiki, in particular to localize it in Italian.

The problem is that Italian coordinators seem to be unreachable, so they can't add me to the localization group, I need to be at least in one group (plus CLA) to edit the wiki.

I'll be glad if you can add me to 'wikiedit' group, if it is possible.

I already messaged @rhea on irc in the aim to join dotnet group and I found an introduction of myself is required but he she mentioned to do that in next meeting until then do you have a solution for this request?

Peace be upon those who follow guidance, Without adding a new issue since I have a common request as @emape, I'm tarik dotnet developer I want to work on wiki, localisation, documentation in arabic for that reason and based on the message from fedora wiki **You need to have at least CLA+1 (group)** a membership to a group is required. I already messaged @rhea on irc in the aim to join dotnet group and I found an introduction of myself is required but ~~he~~ she mentioned to do that in next meeting until then do you have a solution for this request?

Typically one would email our mailing list where they would introduce themselves (who they are, and what would they like to contribute to/with.) You need a working email to register any account anywhere to do anything, which you told me that you do not have... Hence the next best option is IRC meeting on 4th April, 14:30 UTC - sadly due to summer time changes anything earlier was canceled...

(To not wrongly assume ones gender please use they in the future.)

In the meantime he could happily edit the wiki.
Honestly I think that we are risking to loose a new contributor.

Thanks.

But please take into account the first request. @emape would like to join the Italian translation team, but the team coordinators didn't reply to him for three weeks. He is still waiting. Probably there is some problem there. In the meantime he could happily edit the wiki. Honestly I think that we are risking to loose a new contributor. Thanks.

I use a temporarily email to receive emails called mohmal.com and I utilized it in our.umbraco.com and mostql.com successfully.

@emape I've added you to the wikiedit group. Use your powers wisely.

@rtarik I'm not sure out account system is very setup to handle contributors with only temporary email. Our account system expects to mail you on the address listed when you make changes in your account, additionally we use email to contact you for any other project business. If you have a steady email you can use, let us know. Otherwise hopefully you can meet up with folks on irc and they can sponsor you into an additional group.

Thanks!
