Yep; I think I set up the first draft of that for Cameron. I had a look today; and figured out how it worked. I also had an idea of doing a two pass copy: - copy then "en" rst files into a staging area for "it" - then copy any "it" translations over top; allowing us as much italian text as has current been translated There is something we are missing - how to handle (or can we generate) the eclipse tox.xml files; I am going to generate the first ones by hand; but it would be nice if we could figure out how to get the document structure out of sphinx. > Because of a java project with maven build tools we should setup the > doc build like geotools/geoserver did by using ant scripts... > > Yep; on it. > An other great pro is, that we don't need an other editor for the > documentation and everybody can read it directly in the browser (at > github).

I think we got more ideas then hands on this one - let us get this first bit of con ten ported over and then we will have something to work from. Jody
