I would like to add my $0.02 in l10n area. It's too early to start a Polish doc translation project, but I think that we - and other "Latin 2" people - deserve a decent handbook entry. When I stared to work with existing Russian handbook entry, I noticed that I only have to change locale names (from ru_RU to pl_PL) and few details. I suppose that setup for Czech, Slovak, Hungarian and other Central-Eastern Europe countries is very similar, so one would write just a handbook entry about general FreeBSD locale system and prepare set of tables for Polish, Czech, Russian, etc. users. I think that other ISO 8859-1, ISO 8859-5 etc. nations can also be included. I have found some decent resources, like ISO 8859-2 page: http://sizif.mf.uni-lj.si/linux/cee/iso8859-2.html (it's in English, folks) and perhaps some notes for countries using ISO 8859-2 standard can be useful. Perhaps FreeBSD should have a generic "country" switch in rc.conf allowing the user to load prepared and tested configuration for his country (including font, keyboard, $LANG setup, etc.). Anyway, is any reorganization of the l10n chapters planned? Any volunteers to help? -- << Marcin Cieslak // saper@system.pl >> ----------------------------------------------------------------- SYSTEM Internet Provider http://www.system.pl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
