Re: [BOOK] Spanish project willing to use main repository

Hi!

Sorry for more delays... I went back to work this week and there was
a lot of coordinating to do for translations.

Ofcourse. The translators group can propose who they think needs to
have write access, if full committers didn't notice the need.

Ok. But I do think the role for the coordinator is crucial here. In
the end all translators need to be informed of big project decisions
and discussion about translations.

I agree with the log messages. The encoding for your files can be
whatever suits you. Maybe setting the mime-type with the charset
optional field is a good idea here. That way anybody can find out
easily which encoding you use.

Sure. Looking at other book projects they already do this.

That would be a nice addition.

Please see my private mail about getting commit access.

As far as the russian translation is concerned, I'm afraid I reacted
too late to be able to convince them to use the Subversion repository.

But the Norwegian translation is right here:

Erik.
