Hello there, I am working on the ITP of the painting programme Rgbpaint since a week or two. Probably the fifth or sixth generation is running and building smoothly on my machines now, so the executable and packaging is already well examined. It really needs substantially more attention and correction than the existing Ubuntu package seemingly did get. Therefore it is a futile task to build on their preparations.
Sadly to say, the original manual page is truly inferior, (like with Mtpaint, already present in Debian custody) containing less information than even the usage printout itself contains. Due to this fact I have written new documentation from the bottom and up, and I did this using Docbook. At the moment I produce a manual page and XHTML page for English and Swedish. An MO-file was lacking for Swedish, so I had to include such a trans- lation also. Swedish is the only MO-file being up to date!. Now, since it is my intention that this painting programme be useful also to younger people, which means writing an extensive documentation, I am very keen on getting the Gettext content of the executable and the Docbook source localized to whatever is desired by Debian Edu. At the moment a single language needs some 600 lines of text in the Docbook source, so it not a trivial matter, rather it needs some stamina to adapt the text to a further language. Of course also the master copy will need polishing by a native Englishman, but the general form has more or less settled by now. So here is my cry: Help me get in touch with enthusiasts that can help in providing further languages.
