This group is an announcement list of major discussions and happenings in Drupal 8 initiatives, cross-posted from their dedicated groups and issue queues (listed below). If you only have time to read a single channel of info on Drupal 8, this is the one!
Content is along the lines of:
a) We think a decision has been reached, and here's the decision. Feedback?
b) We're trying to reach a decision, and we need help. Here's where to chime in to help us reach it.
c) General status reports about "Hey, if you've been busy for the past while, here's what's going on and what things you should know."
Unfortunately, this group needs to be kept invite-only in order to keep the content curated to only important announcements of general interest, but you are warmly encouraged to comment and participate on any discussions posted to this group!

Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative meeting on August 15th, 2012
We are getting together once more before the Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative sprint in Munich starts in just a few days.
The current top priority task board is still full of interesting issues to work on and things that people need reviews on. We'll adjust sprint priorities based on what is committed this week and the set of people at the sprint, but starting on any task now is not too early!
Come to this meeting to discuss where are the curent hot areas, and where do we need more help. We have a very long way to go in a very short time (only 3.5 months to feature freeze)!
This IRC meeting is in the #drupal-i18n channel on IRC. See http://drupal.org/irc for more information. The time above is marked with UTC - check in your own timezone.

Read moreWhere to find updates on D8 Development Progress
Though Initiative Owners are doing a fantastic job of keeping up with their individual initiatives, we've recently heard that the community would like more visibility on D8 progress in general. We've been trying to find the right format and we've got something for you to check out! http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupal-core
The D8 team of Initiative Owners and its supporters want to make it easier for you to find the most important issues to work on, so we've put together a summary page that we'll be updating it every two weeks, and more frequently on an as-needed basis.

Read moreDrupal 8 Multilingual Sprint report from Barcelona
Just this past week, we had a full week of sprinting on Drupal 8 Multilingual issues on ocassion of the Drupal Dev Days over the weekend. Citilab, the venue for the event was generous to let us use the space for the whole week, and four fantastic financial sponsors, dotProjects.be, Cando Image, Open8, Acquia and Dave Reid made it possible for the sprinters to have a worry-free week. Their sponsorship let us have our coffee, soft drinks, lunches, ice cream, fruits and vegetable snacks and even a very nice dinner downtown covered, so we can just focus on what we are good at: solving multilingual issues for Drupal 8. We absolutely grateful for their support.
We have had about ten people starting off the week sprinting which grew up to over 20 by Friday. Key people like Internationalization module maintainers Jose Reyero (reyero) and Florian Weber (webflo), Localization update maintainer Erik Stielstra (Sutharsan), Entity API lead Wolfgang Ziegler (fago), CMI initiative lead Greg Dunlap (heyrocker), core generalist Daniel Kudwien (sun), core committer Angie Byron (webchick) were around, which really helped us make great advances. Amazee Labs really put the multi in the sprint by sending not one but two great developers, Micheal Schmid (Schnitzel) and Vasi Chindris (vasi1186). We've had long time hard workers Peter Droogmans (attiks), Christian López (penyaskito) and Clemens Tolboom (Clemens.Tolboom, remote) in attendace and even Francesco Placella (plach, remote) could contribute all the way from Venice. We also had people helping us test our new user interfaces and figure out problems, including Lowell Montgomery (LoMo). Various people were sprinting focused on Entity API, including but not limited to Sebastian Siemssen (fubhy), Sascha Grossenbacher (berdir), Miro Dietiker (miro_dietiker) and Frederic Marand (fgm, OSINet). Thanks again everybody for coming and participating! (And I'm sorry if I forgot to mention your name). And special thanks for our on-site organizers, Pedro Cambra and Ramon Vilar for their amazing help.
We have made great advances in all four areas of the Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative (base language, interface translation, content language and config language).
