CPAN can do bugs: http://rt.cpan.org/ perl.org can do bugs: http://rt.perl.org/ lists: http://lists.perl.org/ CVS: http://dev.perl.org/cvs/ and I'm told that subversion is coming soon http://www.perl.org/docs.html has links to "known" translations (currently they know of French, German and Japanese) > It would mean missing out on all the benefits of a shared project - > consistancy between languages, smaller workload in maintaining the actual > project site, etc. > Of course, as a central place for users to find the finished translations, > this is a great idea. Given that the perl documentation is changing constantly, how do you propose keeping aware of what has changed in the masters since the translation? (ie which sections need re-translating, versus which changes are just style related rephrasing of the originals). Something to do that would be a very useful central tool. I've no idea if content management systems (such as Bricolage) could easily be made to do it. Nicholas Clark
