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!

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?



       Thanks for now.


       cheers,
