[Live-demo] Re: Chinese translations of OSGeo-Live documentation?

[Jody Garnett]

If I could make a small request. 

I am interested in seeing the "Geospatial for Java" workshop translated into chinese for FOSS4G next year. If you can think of anyone who would be interested please put them in contact with the geotools-devel email list (or contact me directly).

Regards,

But there is still more not done. For OSGEO-Live translations, we may start at a limited version. We would be very happy if you could make further introduction to us.
