[OSGeo-Board] localization of OSGEO website for China

[Daniel Brookshier]

Hi Kevin,

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 the http://mapguide.osgeo.org project pages. The  
same is true for other projects, but you would need to contact those  
persons directly (project owners of the projects).


Participating on the www.osgeo.org 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 dev at webcommittee.osgeo.org. Or if  
you are willing, I can set you up to make the changes directly.

For the MapGuide project, things are a little simpler. The primary  
page is index.html. Just translate this and I'll host it so that it  
will show up in a Chinese browser. For more industrious work on  
documents, please contact Bob Bray at robert.bray at autodesk.com and  
talk to him about what you want to do. Bob will need to make the  
decision on if we create a sub-project for most bulk of the  
translations or if he wants you to work in the main repository. We  
are doing something similar for Japan.
