Anyone interested in helping to localize ShuX?
I'd like to organize an effort to create non-English versions of the ShuX menus, dialogs, and other resources. I speak only English, so I can't do any translations myself. What I *can* do is set up whatever sourceforge.net resources are needed - mailing lists, trackers, etc., and of course I'll merge the finished interfaces into the main distribution when they're done. If anyone's interested, join the camelbones-devel list (link below) and mention what language you'll be working on. That's to keep everyone coordinated; if we get multiple people working on a given language, we don't want any duplicated effort. Also, SourceForge's CVS is flaking recently, so I've got a number of updates that haven't been checked in - you'll want the latest Nibs to begin with. Thanks! PS - I'd like to translate the CamelBones examples, and the web site too... but let's tackle one insane project at a time... PPS - There are new versions of CamelBones (1.0rc1 - last one before final) and ShuX coming before the end of the week. The distribution now takes about four hours to do a clean build. Contributions to replace my antique G4/500 would be much appreciated. :-) sherm-- Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net Hire me! My resume: http://www.dot-app.org
