For a long time, I have tried to find a "good" way to store information about translators, supported languages, contact, progress of new translators in the "New Language Process" (see the new i18n doc), etc. Up to now, I kept all this in a oocalc spreadsheet, which was convenient for me (except for the time I needed to launch OpenOffice to open it). However, this didn't allow easy sharing of this information with other i18n coordinators and every interested people, as I consider this as public information. I finally managed to find a probably not perfect but easier to handle format. I wrote a very basic XML DTD (actually, I copied the one used by Alastair McKinstry for iso-codes, and written by himself and Andreas Jochen), with all needed information. The result is the attached file, which I intend to commit in installer/doc/i18n. Please comment and, possibly, suggest enhancements, or point my mistakes in XML use. Alastair, Andreas, thanks for your work, which I used as reference. --
