Not sure if that is the best place to discuss (I can move it to matrix if wanted), but depending on what is needed, I could help with the end-user documentation work.

The codeberg documentation is really barebones and sometimes not even accurate it seems. The weblate documentation is more complete, but sometimes difficult to grasp.

I'd recommend to try and be efficient by working on the Weblate docs and only writing a short codeberg onboarding section. Improving the Weblate docs, and especially finding information quickly is a todo.

Other than Documentation, it would be cool to have some Python / django / frontend developers who are able to tackle some issues with Weblate and upstream them.

I work with Python and Django a bit. Maybe I could help out there or with documentation.

@jaerrib this would be great. Potential things that would be great:

• when users log in to Codeberg and visit Weblate, they are not automatically logged in. It would be cool if there could be a background check that tries to complete the sign in flow (see Codeberg/Community#1415)
  • alternatively, it would be great if Weblate allowed a customizable (e.g. markdown) welcome popup on first visit for guests, so that we can present them with something like "Hi, your Codeberg account is not automatically detected. Please click here to sign in"
• another big problem is that the colour customization breaks our themes, see Codeberg/Community#1409
• a more recent suggestion of mine is to have a look at the notification settings, IMHO they are hard to understand. I'll happily help with user research to find more about this. A low-hanging fruit would be to display the actual value next to fields with "Default settings", because I don't know what the defaults are ...
