Greetings all, I am currently figuring how Mongrel2 and ZeroMQ work - awesome stuff. I can contribute by translate the manual into Russian. Do you guys think it's worth it at this stage? -- Good luck, Pasha Bastov

Very cool. > I can contribute by translate the manual into Russian. Do you guys > think it's worth it at this stage? Hmmm, yeah that might be good. We're planning a 1.0 version release at the end of the month, and if you think there's a good chance Russian users will be interested then I'd say go for it. Let me know if you're interested and I can show you how to get started. Are you famliar with LaTeX? -- Zed A. Shaw http://zedshaw.com/

Yep, I'm absolutely interested. Would be good if you could explain briefly what to do. > Are you famliar with LaTeX? Used to play with at university but never touched it ever since. I will catch up quickly. Thanks. -- Pasha Bastov

Alright, first go grab the source using fossil: http://mongrel2.org/wiki?name=ContributorInstructions And make sure you DO NOT use the debian package for fossil. Remove it if you have it. They completely screwed fossil up. After you get the source, make sure you can build it and stuff: http://mongrel2.org/wiki?name=GettingStarted And then you can find the docs you'd have to translate in: docs/manual docs/wiki Probably don't need to translate the wiki except for GettingStarted and ContributorInstructions, maybe DesignCriticisms. Then, I'd say make a sub-directory in manual of docs/manual/ru/ or whatever is appropriate and copy all the files in there. After that just get started trying to translate it, getting the build to work, etc. You will probably need to install TeXLive, which on debian is like texlive-full. Also, we hang out in #mongrel2 on irc.freenode.org so pop in there if you have problems building it. Tordek also knows how to get the manual to build and such. When you get to a point where you got something to commit, I'll give you commit access so you can get started. Thanks! Let me know when you get started and I'll let a few folks know who were interested. -- Zed A. Shaw http://zedshaw.com/
Ok, thanks for the comprehensive instructions. I will have the environment set up today and will start at most tomorrow. On Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 11:28 AM, Zed A.
