السلام عليكم
How do you think we can coordinate our work?
I suggest make the translation in XHTML( and CSS after) and publish it in
Arabeyes and then generate PDFs. XHTML is clean, open and easily readable and
distributable. I don't know much about DocBook and TeX, but what I know is
that in the end most similar documentation projects are generated in HTML.
Also, XHTML/CSS allows more artwork and customization, thus DocBook is best
for must-be organised, long books and LPI tutorials aren't so, they are just
like any professional detailled tutorial on the web. Can Arabeyes
coordinators give use some space to publish the documents?
Concering work coordination, I propose to work separately each one on a PDF
and then each one should read the other translation to discuss terms,
translatons, style ... The work should seem being made by one person.
How much time can you allocate to this work? Personnaly I can only give it 5
hours a week in my usual schedule as I have to complete Mandriva's website
(Pray for me to finish mandriva.com, it's a bit long and boring, I admit).
إن شاء الله
