Dear potential LDP translators,
|
||||
|
||||
Most all of the LDP works can be freely translated. However, as a matter
|
||||
of courtesy we ask that you first check the license of the document to
|
||||
make sure this is the case AND that you kindly email the author of
|
||||
the document and let him/her know that you are translating their work.
|
||||
|
||||
If email to the author bounces, you can either inform us, or ignore it
|
||||
as some of the documents are in an unmaintained status and we have lost
|
||||
track of the author.
|
||||
|
||||
Translated works are stored and maintained on *your own* site/server.
|
||||
|
||||
You can create your own website, if you so desire. Many translatation
|
||||
teams have done so (See http://www.linuxdoc.org/vlist.html#te for a
|
||||
list of teams).
|
||||
|
||||
Translated documents are mirrored by the LDP from your server to
|
||||
our main server. Your repository of information should be accessible
|
||||
either through ftp or rsync to allow for us to perform the mirror
|
||||
operation.
|
||||
|
||||
Directory structure of the repository we mirror should follow this
|
||||
convention:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/translations/Directory-Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Samples of translated documents/sites we mirror:
|
||||
|
||||
http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/translations/
|
||||
|
||||
SGML source is available through our CVS tree. You can request an
|
||||
account per the following instructions:
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/cvs.html
|
||||
|
||||
or retrieve through our web-based interface:
|
||||
|
||||
http://cvsview.linuxdoc.org/
|
||||
|
||||
We ask that you do NOT check translated documents into this main
|
||||
tree at this time, but instead store/maintain them locally with
|
||||
the rest of your translation team.
|
||||
|
||||
There are many mailing lists that the LDP offers that you might
|
||||
want to join/monitor:
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.linuxdoc.org/mailinfo.html
|
||||
|
||||
One in particular is the "announce" list wish is used to inform
|
||||
everyone when documents are updated, added, or removed from the
|
||||
LDP document collection.
|
||||
|
||||
I hope this helps to answer some of the questions you might have.
|
||||
If you have additional questions you can email myself or Guylhem
|
||||
(LDP Chief coordinator/main contact - guylhem@metalab.unc.edu).
|
||||
|
||||
best regards,
|
||||
|
