However starting from a common project would be easier than merging later on, so if such a location exists I personally would prefer to join it rather than starting my own unique little project. Already there are: * An Italian translation project: http://pod2it.sourceforge.net/ * An japanese translation project: http://sourceforge.jp/projects/perldocjp/ * A french translation project: http://www.enstimac.fr/Perl/ Each one with it's own unique look and feel, HTML format, etc. This may be a good thing, but IMHO I think it would be better all around to have a "united" perldoc translation project, with a common look and feel for all langauges. This would also help share the burdon of maintaining the site/project, and I'm sure there are other benifits. This is why I've CC'd the maintainers of the above projects- to ask if you guys would like to merge together into one "International Perldoc Project". What do you think? If not, why not? (P.S., forgive me for including the entire thread above, I wanted to make sure everybody understood what this email is about. I hope I succeeded :-) ).
