I am really interested to contribute to the Portuguese version, BTW I think that the English version also need help to be finished. But I don't know how I can contribute with. I know that all of you are making effort to this Manual, but I think the community that wants to learn PD here in Brazil needs a translation. But I wish to help you with the English version too. So, how can I help the English version? Which version may I translate to Portuguese? The last one of each chapter? How to know the state of the English version? Is there another mail list of the guys doing that?
Sorry about all of my questions.
Thanks.
@ariane, we can talk by mail, thanks ;-)
cheers,

I'm totally supportive of "forking" whatever translation comes up. The reason that the Pd FLOSS Manual will never be "finished" is that Pd can do some many things, and the docs all arise out of individual people's research and needs. So if the PT scene has other stuff they are interested in, and skew their manual in that direction, good for them! D.

FLOSS Manuals is really in a similar style of a wiki. So once the Portuguese version of the manual gets started, you can just edit chapters as you have time. The big question here is whether the Portuguese should stick closely to the English version, or just naturally develop in relation to the English. I would hate to see the Portuguese effort blocked by waiting for the English effort, but there is also something to be gained by staying in sync. Plus if there is a big push to write the Portuguese version, then the English version could also draw from it. Of course, I hope that as people work on the Portuguese version, they could also contribute to the English version.
That's the discussion, I see good reasons to do it both ways. Its up to the people who want to work on the Portuguese version how they want to approach it.

Hello Gabi & Ildomar,
the PD FLOSS Manual is still very much under development. If you want to translate it, that;s fine but keep in mind that it could be revised at any time. Take the chapters from the editing interface rather than the published online version for the most recent, but somewhat "unstable" versions/revisions. And feel free to maker improvements where you find a place for them!
Best, Derek

Hello! We are interested to help the portuguese translation of the Floss Manuals of Pure Data. We are looking forward to help this comunity! In the translation interface has a option with various revisions, I suppose we need to translate the last revision (1.15), is it right? We just started editing the introduction, so can we just publish it?

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. - Thomas Jefferson
