You can find more information about Weblate on https://weblate.org, the code is hosted on Github. If you are curious how it looks, you can try it out on demo server. You can login there with demo account using demo password or register your own user. Weblate is also being used on https://hosted.weblate.org/ as official translating service for phpMyAdmin, OsmAnd, Aptoide, FreedomBox, Weblate itself and many other projects.

Should you be looking for hosting of translations for your project, I'm happy to host them for you or help with setting it up on your infrastructure.

Further development of Weblate would not be possible without people providing donations, thanks to everybody who have helped so far! The roadmap for next release is just being prepared, you can influence this by expressing support for individual issues either by comments or by providing bounty for them.

Weekly phpMyAdmin contributions 2017-W04

Last week I focused on our libraries and all they got new major release in last week in order to move into PhpMyAdmin namespace and to follow PSR-4. We've also released first beta for 4.7.0 and looking forward to feedback based on it.

The new phpMyAdmin release also comes with new downloads structure in order to have smaller downloads for most people while provide also one with complete sources as usually needed by Linux distributions. Hopefully this new structure will better fit needs of both groups.

Another thing worth mentioning is that I've received first batch of phpMyAdmin stickers to hand out at FOSDEM, so in case you happen to be in Brussels next weekend, stop at Software Freedom Conservancy stand and grab one of them.
