Hi Duarte, answers inline, I copied your mails together ;):

Seems that's another point I should better add to the Wiki page - I've started editing it yesterday :) Thanks for the hint! Staging has not been fixed for changes in google's oauth module. What should work is to register for a regular account there, giving your mail address. The staging website will be updated (and wiped clean, probably) when the next version of the website (with many new features, and fixes) will be in testing stage. It's better to use that page for training and testing purposes only. Contents created there can easily be lost. > 2.

We will have to edit the links, and turn them into Link plugins. I didn't feel qualified to edit them in Portuguese :) To copy parts from one page to another page, when something needs an update, the best way I found is to copy the changed text from the English page (in normal mode, directly from the browser, not from the editor), and then to translate, edit all links and the formatting, if necessary. > 3.

I suggest that for the time being, we concentrate primarily on pages that have just recently been updated, and if we translate the other pages, we need to keep in mind that the info on them is not necessarily 100% current. This applies to the Testing page, the Getting started page, and maybe to the Debugging page (I can't judge). The other pages are all fairly current. Brynn, Martin and I have worked intensively on all of them within the last year, and we are still discussing a lot about what could be added to make the website most useful to our users. The horizontal scrolling was caused by (non-breakable spaces) being used instead of normal spaces in between the words. I've removed them by copying the source into a normal text editor, search&replacing all with simple spaces and then copying back the source. Probably an office suite that was used for editing was inserting those nasty ;) I hope I was able to help a bit. Whenever you see something that should better be documented, please tell me about it. We should make the process as easy as possible - I want the website translations to be fun and rewarding for everyone! Thank you, Duarte, for your help - it is very much appreciated!
