Hi Martin,

In answer to your questions:
1) Not yet. We have converted only the master branch initially. Future
versions will of course be branches, but we were considering whether or not
we spend effort converting older released versions. The ability to take
translation input for previous releases is a good argument for doing so.
I'll look into the effort of getting a 2.29 en version in markdown. It
shouldn't be too difficult.
2) The build script is a little bit "hacked" together right now. We could
tweak it to include e.g. French fairly easily. We need to think about the
best way to share resources. (We may change to use a more robust build tool
in the future)

If you let me know your thoughts on schedule, I can work with you to see
what we can do to coordinate the effort.

Thanks and kind regards,
Phil
