TLDP project - Tamil Translation

Hi,

This is Sri Ramadoss from Chennai, India. My mother tongue
is Tamil. I have
been involved in Tamil translation of Gnu website(1), Debian
Website(2) &
Documentation(3), KDE translations(4) and is also contact
person for Ubuntu
Tamil Team(5).

I wish to volunteer to start translating the TLDP contents
to my language
and build a team to do it. Please clarify as to where I
should I begin.

Ramadoss,

I think this is a great idea and am happy to see that your
dedicating so
much time to the translation of so many documents.  To
start, I would
encourage you to start with basic concepts of Linux and work
your way
towards more complex documents.  If that doesn't seem to be
of interest,
perhaps start with the top and work your way down.  No
matter how you do it,
I will be of benefit to TLDP and the GNU/Linux community.

Great Work,

Paul

THATS A GOOD IDEA. THANK YOU. WILL IT BE PREFERABLE IF I,
WGET THE HTML

COMMITTING THE SAME TO TLDP.ORG? OR SOME OTHER PLACE?

The better thing to do is get a LDP account and commit
changes. Refer

http://ldp.digimirror.nl/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/
html/getaccount.html

The document doesn't mention translators but IIRC, they can
get commit 
access too.

You can't just go by the last revision date since many
revisions are
minor ones which mainly fix typos, etc.  You might check
which docs
other translation projects have recently translated.

Thank you. I had a look at it. Will do little bit of work
before requesting 
for the access.
