Hi Martin,
Yeah, it was a bad idea, but after the documentation in French and other
languages was essentially abandoned, we made the decision (at the time) to
pull that out and move it into another repo. I agree however, that it is
not a great idea and it would definitely make more sense to have everything
in the same repo, especially since most resources are going to be shared
(except for the text).

I suggest you start by putting things in /src/commonmark/fr and then we can
try and see how to modify the build script to make it multi-lingual. This
does not seem to be tough to do, but will wait on @Philip Anthony Larsen
Donnelly <p...@dhis2.org>  to comment on what the preferred approach from
the Oslo team is.

Regards,
Jason
