Update translations: downloads, libraries, ruby-core, manual-instructions

Open stomar opened this issue 12 years ago • 7 comments

There have been major changes of these pages in the last years, and essentially all translations are outdated:

  • downloads
  • libraries
  • community/ruby-core
  • community (small change: paragraph regarding ruby-core)
  • community/mailing-lists/manual-instructions (small changes)

(Some recent changes are these: 59584c586b441c4f4bf66657e9be2e1d6632fbc1, 6587577efe17df2b57f02a838f5380af9a38943c, 98ecf2ef461baf2e3c51e760e9cfdce635bd37a7, but there have been major changes before the migration to GitHub.)

Major project ahead… I will be starting by ensuring /fr is in sync, right now.

@stomar I updated :fr: (8589786). While editing, I noticed a few area for improvement.

Installation

Pretty up-to-date, but could benefit from mentioning alternatives to RVM.

Maybe a more "standardized" layout to maintain consistency among the different platform could help. For instance:

Mac OS X

  • Preferred way: Homebrew
  • Best alternative: a third-party tool (RVM…)

Blablabla about installing on Mac OS X, different versions…

Windows

Blablabla about installing on Windows, different versions…

Also, there are no instructions about compiling from source, svn commands to fetch the code and stuff.

Libraries

What about a complete, real-world example? It would describe a typical use-case, from looking for a library by theme to installing and using it in one's code.

Both Ruby-Doc.org and RubyDoc.info should be mentionned.

Ruby Toolbox could definitely be promoted as a way to explore Ruby's ecosystem.

Hmm, I'l try to update pt soon.

@chikamichi nice ideas; the installation workflow could be more detailed and reflect the current installation methods (rvm, ruby-build, etc) and explain the use cases and basic workflow for managing multiple versions (mentioning tools like rbenv and chruby).

@chikamichi should we make a separate issue for compiling from source. I donate the instructions from the chruby wiki.

Some information on getting the source code via SVN is on the ruby-core page.

I only made the most necessary changes to get the content up-to-date. For discussions on bigger reworkings I think there should be separate issues.

Also updated: community/ruby-core and the link to it on the community page.
