Re: [tdf-discuss] Released LibreOffice For Dummies v2
Hi Klaibson, Well that's a really low amount - I'd first question whether someone would dedicate hundreds of hours (or thousands) for such a small amount of money. In particular, if you're thinking of having it translated into multiple languages where each individual translator might get a couple hundred dollars (I've been quoted as much as $100/hr to professionally translate work in the past). I still think it'd be an uphill battle to get funding. Here's an additional option: https://www.documentfoundation.org/foundation/grant-request/ You can request a grant to fund translation. I'd suggest first talking to people about the real cost of translating (what they would contractually commit themselves to). Then you can write up a grant and say you already have someone lined up to translate the material and the cost that they quote. I think that this might be more feasible than doing crowdfunding.

Re: [tdf-discuss] Released LibreOffice For Dummies v2
Hi. My idea is crowdfunding internacional of cost US$ 1000,00 about. This would facilitate the translate the ebook other languages, as french, spanish, etc. About the name "LibreOffice For Dummies", change the name for "LibreOffice for Bennigers". Want know your opinion about viability. Good week. A 12.05.2016 14:22, Joel Madero escreveu: As a side note - I'd be VERY careful about using that name when translating it to English.
