We have never failed to appreciate the quality of the French Linux distributor’s products, and Mandriva 2008, their latest release, is no exception. But this time there is a big and pleasant surprise coming in the delivery. Seeing the light is barely an overstatement. –> read it all
In many countries vacations were over, kids went back to school and some people went back to work… And, what did the GLM team do during October? You’re about to find it out! –> read it all
In spite of the big advantages of having our projects powered by DocBook (multiple output formats and projects easier to translate, if compared with XHTML files), we have decided to keep our HTML and use GNU Gettext to make it easier for our translators to do their job through Pootle.
GetGNULinux.org is the first project that is being migrated to this new platform, and you may keep an eye on our progress through our Polyglot milestone. The source code for the attempt to port GetGNULinux.org to DocBook has been moved to the docbook-version-stillborn tag, in our subversion repository.
The “First Steps in GNU/Linux” project will be the only powered by DocBook, as some people might prefer a printed copy of that website (DocBook makes it easy to export a given documentation to multiple formats, unlike HTML).
We expect to get this system working by December 1st, at least only with GetGNULinux.org.
