Hello Frank,
Welcome to the Dutch speaking part of OOoAuthors.
As you probably have noticed the Getting Started is slowly being
translated into Dutch. Jo started with it, and I have taken over
continuing.
Chapter 3 is done and publicised, chapter 4 needs a final review from my
side, chapter 5 is under review by Henk, a proof reader, after which I
will finalise, chapter 6 is nearing completion.
Maybe, it is a good idea to join also the mailing lists from
nl.openoffice.org.
In the past, I could alter the status of these chapters myself, but for
some reason I cannot anymore. Has it to do with some safeguarding of the
site? Can anybody advise me who has these rights, so I can get in contact.
Best regards
Leo

Some extra information:
I do access the site from SuSe 10.1 Linux : browser is Konquerer
My intention is in the Open Office group, to write / translate the manuals
into Dutch. Despite the fact that all educated Dutch do speak more or less a
form of English, people do feel more comfortable with manuals in their
native language, specially when one is active writing documents in one's
native language.
While translating, i will have more attention to what the English manuals
contains, so i expect to be able a positive contribution to the
English/International versions as well.
I am Born in the Netherlands, a tiny country, in my time after secondary
school we had a fair knowledge of the four neighbouring languages: Dutch,
English, German and French. During my lifetime i travelled, worked in a
variety of countries. With the result that i have gained some experiences
with a few other languages. Bits of Kiswahili, Cantonese,Tagalog, Indonesian
fit snugly in my language bag.
My working life is a continuous battle between my passion (Music) and my
capabilities:technology.
In my computing time, i have written hardware manuals, and took care they were
translated. Than it is an advantage to be able to check the technology part
of many translations oneself.
I would love to be able contribute to the OOO effort. My motivation is
specially to have a full a version for the Linux market.
I have seen little traffic in the authors user-faq mailing list. None
actually: for a week. But maybe that has to do with the fact that i am
technically bot allowed yet..
I understand that the problem can have been caused by a stricter anti-spam
control. I hope some where there is a manual override possible
Kind regards,
met vriendelijke groet,
