There have been a couple of booklets in the pipeline at Sarai related to this. A couple of publications on How to Localize and Pocket Linux are also in the queue (by Rajesh Ranjan and Ravishankar Shrivastava respectively). We also had one booklet on general FLOSS philosophy already completed (though we had run out of them). Let me see if I can find more copies of them at Sarai. If you have some wiki link we can add some potential topics there.

In my opinion Google Translate is very bad for translating entire articles. The grammar etc. gets botched up pretty bad. Its still nowhere a replacement for a properly localized text (i.e. by a human). > Will help solve a lot of limitations of paper-- and will also be > environmentally friendly... That might be true but distributing booklets cannot be considered less effective than internet. At least IMHO. I'll still prefer a book over an HTML link handed out to me. Why not have both? --- n9986 _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
