Hi
I'm working on a tutorial (The FreeBSD User Guide).
http://www.lowrent.org/freebsd/

I just checked www.debian.org. Since one year, that site changed a lot.
First, I was surprised to see that site in French! (I "accidentaly"
setted the "languages" preference in Netscape to French(fr), without
knowing what it would do). Surprise! debian.org use that cool feature.
see (http://www.debian.org/intro/cn.html.en)
It's near FreeBSD quality :-)

On another topic:
I would like to allow many peoples to work on TFUG, since I think it's a
viable project. I don't know what solutions I could use.

First: should I port it to SGML? I never used SGML. The main problem (if
you see it) is that it's not really portable to anything else than HTML
I think. It use a lot of <table> tag, special colors... I use "GTML" to
generate style/colors and the NEXT HOME BACK link at the top and bottom.
Now it's simple for me to respect the style of it since all is automated
when I generate the script. I could even automate <TABLE> tag.

"GTML is an HTML pre-processor" And it's in perl.
(http://www.firststep.com.au/software/gtml.html)

my .gtm files are available on the site in the gtml directory.

Second: How could I let people adding text to it but respecting the
style of it. What are the tools available to share it and let them
submit new work and corrections?
CVS?
Or simply e-mail with diff?

Tank you
