Anne, thanks so much for your continued efforts on the project, everyone I've shown my printed copies of the two manuals to has been thoroughly impressed!
I also agree with your thoughts on timing updated revisions of the manuals in coordination with the Sugar / OLPC software release cycle. In terms of localization there are some efforts underway by Rita in Germany (CC'ed) and here in Vienna we've also discussed doing a translation sprint over a weekend, unfortunately we haven't found a date to actually sit down and do it. Since I'm currently gathering some materials for a post on olpcnews that I want to do on "how YOU can help" I was wondering whether you could maybe compile a short list of tasks that you see as being a priority when it comes to the FLOSS Manuals content. Thanks again for all the amazing work you're doing!! :-) Cheers, Christoph Anne Gentle | Just Write Click schrieb: > Say! Thanks for buying a copy, Kim!
