So - since we are undertaking a translation from scratch, and to cover the whole manual - it will take us some time - it is scheded to be ready by the end of December.

I see no problem doing a release around now, understanding that another one could be done around January or a little later when we have everything ready in Portuguese.

Hi,

I see so many contributions and I haven't prepared a release for ages. I'm sorry for that. My good excuse is a daily job and my son which keeps his father busy during the day.

Since I'm expecting a daughter at the end of december, I'm determined to push out a release before. I can see that Joao and his team is adding Portuguese. When would be a best time to release a new tarball?

PS: Do you guys realise that we're already working ~ 10 years on this manual?? Isn't that awesome?

Cheers and Kind Regards, --

You keep respawning child (processes) until all resources, are exhausted! ;-)

Well yes and no, with so much time...

Pro:

- because the docbook-xml + gettext method is one of the best ways I saw to keep up multilanguage translation effort is an efficiently manner - context help search works out of the box and this is really a "good thing" - the produced HTML is very good and works with every browser I know of

Cons:

- pdf make is not working very especially with oriental languages - many important languages are missing, arabic for a start... - doc.gimp.org site design is really very poor, it seems to me made in year 2000 ...

... the good thing is that I want to address some of these issues ... or die in the try ... ;-)
