Subject:   Translators: Need feedback on FAQ reorganization
Message-ID:  <20010311125040.E31751@holly.calldei.com>

   I've been working on the reorganization of the FAQ recently,
and I need feedback from you, particularly the translation teams.
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?

   Thanks.
