However, I'm more interested in the modifications that you're planning on making. Will you be feeding these back to the project as a whole, so that (for example) a Spanish localisation could benefit from them? We've got some docs about this, see http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/l10n.html N -- Internet connection, $19.95 a month. Computer, $799.95. Modem, $149.95. Telephone line, $24.95 a month. Software, free. USENET transmission, hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Thinking before posting, priceless. Somethings in life you can't buy. For everything else, there's MasterCard. -- Graham Reed, in the Scary Devil Monastery To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
