Hm...<div>So, I think it will be good to start with some stable version. Later it is possible to put some translation from stable to trunk and vise versa. At the very beginning I've decided to translate 1.6 version because of it's popularity. As I can see from repository many of 1.6 parts can go to 1.7 (and even to trunk now) without or with little modification. So, there will be no problem with further updates. (If translation wouldn't be VERY slow ;)<br>

If you wish to translate in trunk, that's certainly fine, but just
understand that trunk is relatively unstable. Today trunk
ostensibly covers Subversion 1.8, but in reality it hasn't been
updated much since the 1.7 updates were completed. Eventually,
though, it will get a flurry of changes to update it for 1.8. This
is why I assumed you'd want to chase a more stable target.<div><div class="h5"><br>

If it possible to do translation in trunk, I'll be very happy
with it. If it is not - I'll start with 1.6 or 1.7 branch.</div>
<div>1.6 version is very popular and is still in use on many
sites. It is default in Debian stable and testing - it gives
more points to 1.6 before 1.7 for beginners. That's why I've
started to work with 1.6. I think it's not so hard to switch to
1.7, for example.</div>

To my knowledge, no one is working on a more up-to-date
translation.<br>
<br>
I see the translation challenge as two-fold.<br>
<br>
First, there's the social/workforce challenge. Are you
willing and able to<br>
tackle this task alone, or do you have some friends willing
to help you?<br>
The COMMITTERS file<br>
(<a href="https://code.google.com/p/svnbook/source/browse/trunk/COMMITTERS" target="_blank">https://code.google.com/p/svnbook/source/browse/trunk/COMMITTERS</a>)
lists the<br>
names and email addresses of the last known Russian
translators. You might<br>
consider contacting that group to see if any of them are
interested in<br>
helping you with this task.<br>
<br>
Secondly, there's the nuts-and-bolts of the translation
work. The book is<br>
written in DocBook XML, then compiled into the various
formats published on<br>
the website (HTML, PDF, etc.) Different groups have
approached the<br>
translation task in different ways in the past. Most start
by making a copy<br>
of the most recent stable English book sources, and work
against those<br>
(rather than trying to keep up with the moving target that
is "trunk/en").<br>
Some perform the translation inline, commenting out the
original English XML<br>
one paragraph at a time and substituting matching translated
paragraphs.<br>
Others have taken a last direct route, converting to book
sources to PO<br>
format, and using translation tables to accomplish their
task. You and your<br>
team will need to decide which approach works best for you.<br>
<br>
Please let me know how I can assist you. When you have a
plan of attack<br>
formulated, I can grant you the required commit access.<br>
