How long is Debian News normally? In what format will we receive it? Do you have any translation guidelines or formatting rules?
After searching Debian (for some reason the Debian website search crashed my browser, twice) then searching by Google, I found the DPN.

It really helps to have this sort of info in your introductory email. Looking at the current issue:
http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/current/issue/
unfortunately I am unable to translate this amount of text weekly. You may find this applies to other low-resource language teams.
Looking at the text, maybe some teams can prioritize items according to their community's needs, and summarize them as well, although that's difficult with the brief paras.
I also couldn't find DPN in SVN.

Or is this it?

Sorry, I can't translate the Debian News into Vietnamese. However, if you come across anyone who might be able to help with Vietnamese translation, don't let him or her get away!
(Chocolate works for me. Debian Vietnamese translation runs almost entirely on Cadbury chocolate. I'm thinking of putting in for a chocolate support grant. ;) )
