Just to play devil's advocate here; what version of the handbook would future translations be based on? Or should docs be maintained seperately by each language's user group? Or, what I wanna say is ... shouldn't there be some "common" or "standard" set of documentation ... that various translations would contribute to / be based on? I'm just thinking that if the English were default, that would make sense from the point of view of a sort of centralized "standard" doc set that all others are related to. Of course, having one's own subdirectory doesn't mean this can't be done. Does anyone get my point? It seems rather unimpressive. :) -dan -- // dannyman yori aiokomete || Our Honored Symbol deserves \\/ http://www.dannyland.org/~dannyman/ || an Honorable Retirement (UIUC) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
