Re: Proposal: Clarify individual members page

[Andrew Mshar]

 Small typo in my previous post. Clearly I meant I'll open the PR next 
year...

Better late than never, here is the PR with changes from my previous draft 
based on everyone's input: 
https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com/pull/1406

Thanks again for all the feedback.

 Hey Andrew,

 Thanks for drafting this language and I think it looks great. As 
 someone who only recently applied after hearing it discussed on an 
 episode 
 of Django Chat[1], I'm all for the goals of making it more encouraging 
 and 
 accessible and think this is a great step in that direction.

 Here are a few minor thoughts to specific bits:

 Service to the Django community takes many forms. Here are some

 "performed by members" is a little ambiguous as to whether it means 
 "this is how we evaluate applicants" vs "this is what you'll do if 
 part of 
 the DSF". Since I think the intention is the former it might make 
 sense to 
 change to something like:

Django in Portuguese

[אורי]

Django Developers,

I need to translate my website (Django) to Portuguese (Europe/Portugal
version). I translated the site and I was surprised to see that a specific
error message was in English (from FileExtensionValidator). I checked and
found out that there are many untranslated strings in language code pt,
although they are translated in pt_BR. What's the difference and isn't it
better to copy all the missing translations from pt_BR to pt, rather than
display them in English to the visitors of sites such as mine? I mean they
might understand English, but the site is meant to be in Portuguese. I
think the minimum is to show them pt_BR translations if pt translations are
missing.

I checked other po files such as de, es, it and nl and there are no missing
translations there.

Thanks,
Uri Rodberg, Speedy Net.
