I replied, asking how to go about helping in this effort, as I desperately need this support; and it allows me to pitch in on the development effort of FreeBSD, also something I want to do. I was given two email addresses ( dec or kbyanc @freebsd.org ) to contact for info on how and where to help out. Unfortunately neither address ( I assume there are people associated with them, but I was given no names ) replied. I am posting here as I think this is probably the better correct list anyway. I am a very experienced programmer, and eager to join/start this effort. Although, I am not familiar with the FreeBSD development style, since it seems to be somewhat organized. My basic questions are: What needs to be done? I assume some people are working on it already, since I was given a time from of "the near future" ( I guess "near" can be very relative though ), and I do not want to duplicate work/effort. Where should my efforts be focused? Again, as not to duplicate work. Thanks, Kevin Wooten To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-i18n" in the body of the message
