"very yes"
Benjamin Lakeit <benjamin.lakeit@gmx.de> reported on the german
translation-mailing-list, that selflinux has the permission to use
the translation of O'Reilly.
So it raises the question how to coordinate with O'Reilly to avoid
duplicate work. The foreword.xml of the book says:
"The authors are still there, still watching, and they
include not just the three listed on the cover, but many others
who contributed corrections and original material."
and i trusted in this.
New (and maybe existing) translation teams should be informed that
OReilly maybe does the same translation and that they should
coordinate with ORailly (maybe a README - file in the book-directory?)
On the one hand by translating i learned much about subversion on
the other hand there is a little bad taste that i could have
spend my time by doing other work.
good luck and
all the best for the subversion-projekt
it is great software
