I'm totally supportive of "forking" whatever translation comes up. The
reason that the Pd FLOSS Manual will never be "finished" is that Pd can
do some many things, and the docs all arise out of individual people's
research and needs. So if the PT scene has other stuff they are
interested in, and skew their manual in that direction, good for them!

FLOSS Manuals is really in a similar style of a wiki. So once the
Portuguese version of the manual gets started, you can just edit
chapters as you have time. The big question here is whether the
Portuguese should stick closely to the English version, or just
naturally develop in relation to the English. I would hate to see the
Portuguese effort blocked by waiting for the English effort, but there
is also something to be gained by staying in sync. Plus if there is a
big push to write the Portuguese version, then the English version could
also draw from it. Of course, I hope that as people work on the
Portuguese version, they could also contribute to the English version.
That's the discussion, I see good reasons to do it both ways. Its up to
the people who want to work on the Portuguese version how they want to
approach it.

Hello Gabi & Ildomar,
the PD FLOSS Manual is still very much under development. If you
want to translate it, that;s fine but keep in mind that it could
be revised at any time. Take the chapters from the editing
interface rather than the published online version for the most
recent, but somewhat "unstable" versions/revisions. And feel free
to maker improvements where you find a place for them!
Best,
Derek

Hello!
We are interested to help the portuguese translation of the Floss
Manuals of Pure Data.
We are looking forward to help this comunity!
In the translation interface has a option with various
revisions, I
suppose we need to translate the last revision (1.15), is it
right?
We just started editing the introduction, so can we just
publish it?
Thanks for now.
cheers,
GabrielaThume and IldomarCarvalho

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it
to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the
possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of
it. - Thomas Jefferson
