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!

Mail chapter complete

Rene Ladan just finished the last part of the mail chapter. It’s ready for Reviewal. Rink Springer offered to have a look where possible in the near future, so with a bit of luck we can add the chapter to the official FreeBSD build soon. Thanks Rene for doing such a great job all the time (Where others did much and left, you are still here!).

Ofcourse, I am trying to keep the documentation as up to date as possible, which goes by flows. If you have more time then me and think you can contribute, please contact me, we can really use the help to get a full blown handbook translation, and possibly even translated webpages at some point.

I am doing all the work in perforce, which is publically reachable through:

Cheers to Rene!
