Hi Jeff
really nice to see you around here :)
I think it could be awesome as a first step if you could share your
great expertise
and help with the QGIS doc build system, based on Sphinx, and its
translation process, that should be based on transifex
This is the same setup you built with Ariel for GeoNode, and it would
be awesome if you could assist for replicating it here for QGIS.
I am sure your help will be greatly appreciated :)
cheers
