Hi All I am the FreeBSD newbie.I never used FreeBSD before. I just install the FreeBSD 10.0. The FreeBSD Handbook is really helpful to the installation and setup the system. But the Traditional Chinese translation is outdated. So all my information is from the FreeBSD Handbook English version. I think I could translate the new version of Handbook to Traditional Chinese. An uptodate information will help people willing to install and use FreeBSD. But I found some problems when I search the way to contribute: First, I cannot contact the Traditional Chinese translation project leader via Email(chinsan@FreeBSD.org) or Website( https://opensvn.csie.org/traccgi/freebsddoc/,it is dead). It seems no one maintains this project.How can I do? Second, I use the UTF-8 as the encoding of my system.I found there is no zh_TW.UTF-8 in Handbook directory.Can I start a new encoding of translation project? (Like zh_CN, there are three directory of zh_CN, including zh_CN.UTF-8). Maybe last time someone modify the zh_TW document is long long time ago. The UTF-8 is not so popular. Third, the document structure(table of contents) of the current Traditional Chinese translation edition is not the same as the current uptodate English edition.How to update /modify this structure? If I have more time to contribute, I will be very glad to translate the FreeBSD website(http://www.freebsd.org/) to traditional Chinese to promote FreeBSD to people in Taiwan or HongKong. How could I do to ? Thanks and Best Regards RayCherng --=20 "Life is like a snowball. The important thing is finding wet snow and a really long hill." "Price is what you pay. Value is what you get."
