Huh? The translation hasn't even started (except for the first
para in section I)

OK! But you said there had to be more people involved. Now you
say only two - how 'bout you and I? :D

I think it would be much easier to monitor translations if the
project proceeded subsectio by subsection. The whole 150K char
document would be a nightmare to monitor progress. The editing
work and approval amongst the team would be easier from to
bottom in an orderly sequence.

I watched a few tortoisesvn YT videos. Most of them were
terrible - the host moving the mouse all over the place and NOT
explaining WHY and WHERE he was moving the mouse. Literally it
was "go here, then here, to get that, oops.. I mean here, and
then this.." ARGHHHH!
To get started I would need to get an earlier version of
tortoisesvn that supports XP.
The only other thing I don't understand and is HOW and WHERE is
the "repository" hosted so that the files are availble to other
editors interested in the project?
