I suspect you will still loose things. I've not tried it (so I can't say for sure), but that's my concern. But any text editor will do very nicely. (And as the interest is in the translation, how it looks on-screen or in output shouldn't matter till the end, when you generate it up). > - Would you recommend to just add a samba-german-docs-tree to the > Samba-CVS and let the participating people access that subtree with > rw-rights?

I don't speak a word of german (so I'm not quite sure why I'm in this discussion at all :-) but I think we can get a reasonable process going. > I am sure we will find a good solution to those starting problems. I think this is starting to move in the right direction.
