Hi,



Jo

On OOocon2006 the Dutch speaking people got together and there is course material from the city of Utrecht that they would want to set free if we ask them. The person who can ask them only wants to do so if we effectively do something with this material. To me the best option would be to post it as source material on the Dutch part of OOoAuthors, so at least it doesn't get lost. Then it can be translated into English and from there it can be translated further to all other languages. What do you think about this? It's course material and not documentation. So it wouldn't mean that we are creating parallel material to what is already available. Maybe to make a decision on this, you need some kind of sample. I'm not sure if we can ask a chapter at random, that I would subsequently translate into English. First I would like to know if in principle we should bother to ask about it.
