[FM Discuss] Discuss Digest, Vol 29, Issue 2

[Maria Inmaculada de la Torre]

I will do what you say. My concern was that I have seen several manuals that
are almost or completely translated, and I don't understand the reason for
them not being published, I don't know whether there is a maintainer or any
other reason for them not be published.

About translating offline my concerns refer to myself, I am translating
offline the Audacity manual because I have a very bad internet connection
and it takes me ages to do anything with an online editor. Also I moved the
first two chapters to the wiki and lost the translation several times, so
not really willing to lose something I'm working on that's the second reason
for translating offline. I think I lost the work because of the connection
issues.

I would like to say that I wouldn't mind to volunteer to be responsible for
one or more manuals but right now I'm not sure I can make that commitment
because of many issues, amongst them the internet connection issue that I'm
trying to sort right now. I'd rather wait until I finish the Audacity manual
at least and see how everything works out.

I will do as you say and go back to you through the list in the maintainer
issue.

Thanks for your answer,

Inma
