Dear members of the Doc-SIG, First I have to appologize for this (allmost) cross-posting with comp.lang.python... But as I think this might concern both python documentation's authors or people interested in python's future, I have posted this announcement here too.... I have set-up a Python documentation translation project whith the idea to provide translated documents about Python for different native languages. The goal is to let introductory material be available to more and more people (potentially) interested in Python programming, but who don't have a good knowledge of english, especially people new to IT or programming. The project will be "managed" with the facility of a dedicated Mailing List accessible at http://www.egroups.com/list/python_doc_translation All details about the project on the ML's site... (archives are open to anyone) (Maybe some of you may wonder why I have decided to create a separate ML... well, it's too soon to say if the project will produce valuable documents, and federate enough efforts... so a specific place will be more practical for now... we'll see what's goin on in the future) Note that the submissions to this mailing-list should be posted in english if for a general purpose. Specific languages' discussions will be held in other languages.... Now for the project itself, ... well, up to now, the only started translation is a french translation of Guido Van Rossum's Tutorial. I let you know when it's out (or in comp.lang.python). We currently have at least 3 people willing to contribute to this french translation. I have also heard about japanese translations, and Dutch or German (original) documents too... which were previously available. Other languages (than french) translation efforts will be of course most wellcome. Thanx in advance for your comments or contribution about the project. (Note, as I am not currently registered on the Doc-Sig, please reply to my e-mail address : Olivier.Berger@capway.com). Olivier Berger. P.S.: Suggestion : if this project had to last and produce succesfull results, why not integrate it in a specific SIG ?... but far too soon to predict it ;) --------------------------------------------------- Olivier BERGER mailto:OlBerger@capgemini.fr (si probleme essayer Olivier.Berger@Capway.com) Ingenieur Projet - MCO Téléconduite Cap Gemini France - Division Services Publics Not speaking for his employer
