[Webcom] Dutch chapter

[Cameron Shorter]

Milo,
If you plan to tackle OSGeo Translation, I suggest building from the 
translation process that has been developed for OSGeo-Live. 
http://live.osgeo.org

What has already been developed and is in place now is OSGeo 
documentation which is being translated and updated by a community of 
translators for Greek, German, Spanish, Japanese and Polish. It would be 
great to include Dutch.

It would also be great if we could extend the translation process such 
that existing pages are copied into the main OSGeo Drupal site, and 
somehow work out a process for the community to easily translate the 
main OSGeo web pages. (Technically I'm not sure how this should be done, 
but if someone does work it out, we should apply the process to multiple 
languages)

The OSGeo-Live translation process is described here:
