[Lexicon] [QGIS-Developer] Concerns about translations and QGIS overall credibility

[Jorge Gustavo Rocha]

Hi Ian, hi all,

There are people trying to run an OSGeo "Interest group" on
"Terminology", to be transversal to all OSGeo projects.

They created a proof of concept, called "geolexica", available at:

https://osgeo.geolexica.org/concepts/

Sources on: https://github.com/geolexica/osgeo.geolexica.org

It would be awesome if we were able to fill the translation for the
different languages associated with the English concept, right on the
origin.

As far I as know (I'm cc to lexica group), this project needs some
additional "love" to go on.

Maybe Cameron (in cc) or someone else can make an update on the lexicon
activities/plans.

Regards,

Jorge
