Thank you and the future reviewers for their work. What an
honor to see it in another language! I especially liked it that
you carried some of my rare silly jokes to French e.g. "Ce
livre a été relu par Ergin Güney pour être élevé de mon englais
à l'anglais" after "This book has been proofread by Ergin Güney
to be elevated to English from my Inglish." ;)
Your joke made me smile. I'm lucky it translated well into French
:-)
Feel free to point me things you would appreciate to see
carefully translated which I might have not seen.

We should also figure out how to move the updates to the French
version. Perhaps I should be the one posting pull requests to
your project in English? :) For example, the Acknowledgments
chapter has already many more names than in the French
translation. :)
As your book is versioned, I managed to find a convenient way to
keep track of changes. I got a diff between revision 501 (Sept
2012) (to be sure) and today (rev 654), I'm going to update the
translation.
To keep track of changes, I just need to do this:
$ svn up
$ svn diff -r 501 > changes
$ kompare changes
And create a file in my repository which stores the revision to
which the translation correspond.
To keep track of changes passively, I just subscribed to
https://code.google.com/feeds/p/ddili/svnchanges/basic
With this, keeping the French translation up-to-date should cost
nothing more than translating the modifications.
Note for later: use a versioning system for all new consequent
document.
