Just before Christmas I started realizing that the Dutch Documentation Project was finishing up the translation of the (hugeee) handbook. That realisation made me translate tiny pieces of the PPP and SLIP chapter while away in Belgium (where possible without doing harm to the “away week” :) ). After that I continued the final bits of the translation and made some improvements for the english version as well.

I finished up the translation just before new year, Wouter Reckman, a new volunteer that helps, was translating filesystems, which got imported yesterday. With those last two achievements, we managed to entirely translate the handbook to the Dutch language! Rene did some quick fixes for the documentation and now we are 100% up to date with it!

Thanks to all involved in the last nearly 5 years to make this happen. It had been a long ride but some of the backbones in the project kept up and now we are here!

Rene started translating some articles, and I am slowly progressing through the FAQ (another huge beast); We hope that volunteers keep popping up, and where possible stay for a longer time to help us translate the rest of the documentation base that comes in handy! This is a terrific way to start 2009!
