<p>Hi Harrissou,</p>
<p>There was this idea that the global project should organize/work on/finance the central english version of the documentation and that the local user groups organize the translations. I think this division of labor/ressources makes sense. In addition, there are the "privileged" english speaking QGIS users (UK, US, AUS, SA) who don't have to care about translations of the manual. They can also help in the central english effort - so to keep ressources aside for the non-english speaking user groups to organize the translations.</p>
<p>I happen to be the global QGIS treasurer as well - so I can tell that financial ressources are available at QGIS.ORG to fund someone to concentrate on working on the english central manual. You just have to ask. Otto is the contact to organize this. He also knows about the available financial ressources. So if you have some ideas or know someone skilled who wants to work on documentation of the central english version, please organize with Otto and we can help finance it. Note that the Swiss and german QGIS user groups are also co-funding QGIS.ORG - so we already contribute our financial shares to the global project.</p>
<p>Hope this explains why Thomas and I want to reserve the funds of the german/Swiss user group for translation.</p>
<p>Andreas</p>

Ah, sorry I misunderstood:
- sämtliche Beschreibungen von Funktionalitäten, die in den Versionen
2.10, 2.12 und 2.14 neu hinzu gekommen sind
- (dazugehörige) Abbildungen, basierend auf der deutschsprachigen
Benutzeroberfläche sind nachzubilden (und auzutauschen)
- noch nicht übersetzte Teile der bisherigen deutschsprachigen
Dokumentation 2.8
And did a quick read anyway. (Well I also wanted to tell the world our
current plans also, hoping to attract more volunteers :-)...)
Thanks for QGIS-DE to put some money into this.
And, sorry: me wrong. 2.14 off course, the LTR, is our target in short time.
Regards,
Richard
