Here's the deal: Currently, the FreeBSD FAQ is just one big SGML file. I've been breaking it up and making the document structure more like the structure of the Handbook. This has required me to move and rewrite some questions and answers. However, a lot of the text is essentially the same. At the same time, though, I'm adding some new questions and answers, combining some of them, and removing others. So I need your feedback. What would I need to do to make it as painless as possible for the translators while I'm working on this? What methods could I use to mark up what paragraphs came from where and what's new? Should I recreate it in CVS, and commit each file question-by-question? I'm open to any ideas that you may have--what should I do?
