Related to PgDay Europe (previous week) we found several
volunteers to begin a FR translate initiative based on the new
doc


Some technical thoughts:

  - It could be a good think to split the big reference.xml file into
    smaller ones to be able to parrallelize translation work easily
    (one file per familly function as Administration functions,
     geometry constructors...)

  - I suggest also to use XML entities as often as we can to factorize  
some
    redundant Docbook code (SQL/MM compatibility, or 3D enabled for  
instance)


HTH,
