Yes, I > suppose I would have to be the first to volunteer for such a task :-) In The Polish FreeBSD Documentation Project we are already encouraging people to write the documentation in Polish - that it could be then translated to English by our Translation Team. As far some people offered to write some tutorials - we are waiting for results... I think this will not eliminate the demand mentioned in the Mark's suggestion, because only-Polish writers cannot directly take part in the work of FDP, but could be helpful in finding volunteers to create new documentation, if every translation team encourages people in their counry.
