class=453380700-09062006>I've talked more with Digital China on this
localization, and I think their intention is not only "translate" the website.
They are more eager to setup a local website, so they can be more free to
promote DC company, as well as promote OSGEO and MapGuide OpenSource in China.
Of course, all copyrights and sources will be stated explicity and
contributed to their owners. All the logos from OSGEO/DC/Autodesk can be
placed on the website page. And DC will setup a server and domain name for
it. (No cost need from OSGEO.)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Yes, speaking for the web committee, we would love to have the translation
help. We would love your help the the OSGeo.org web pages and of course with

<DIV><SPAN class=998564701-01062006>Participating on the <A
href="http://www.osgeo.org">www.osgeo.org</A> site is simple, just supply your
translations for each of the elements and we will start the process of adding
the pages. After we get a clean implementation, I'll let you manage the specific
pages for your language. I've included DomainHome.html.html which is the center
of the page. The other elements are a bit more complicated, so I just need your
translations and they will be converted. Pages off the home page, please convert
at your leisure and send them to?<FONT class=Apple-style-span face=Verdana
