Thank you for your support, Aaron. I will contact Giovanni to get some information. Now I have a question: would be better to create a project called arch-i18n or arch-l10n?
I saw that there was already a project for the i18n Arch before, but he ended without further information: http://arch-i18n.berlios.de/ The last message from the project is not encouraging: http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch/2006-May/010365.html Does anyone know more details about this? I had thought about creating a category "i18n" in flyspray, but talking to Andrea Scarpino today we decided that a maillist would be better. Anyway to create it under the Arch project? I made some changes in the page: http://hdoria.archlinux-br.org/uploads/arch-i18n/arch-i18n.html Opinions? -- Hugo Doria http://hugodoria.org http://blog.hugodoria.org http://pacupdate.sourceforge.net On Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 2:50 PM, Aaron Griffin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 10:58 AM, Hugo Doria <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> What do you think about creating a i18n project for Arch?
