I really must learn to read things properly! Pandoc converts to Mediawiki, NOT Docuwiki - which is what we want. Sorry.

Because as said by others we need a complete base first. And as it seems this wiki will be integrated to the mothership (docs.slackware.com), we will need thorough verification of the articles to stick with the slack philosophy. Of course I understand what you say: better in another lang than nothing ...

I've registered at SlackDocs, and subscribed to the mailing list. Reading now.
AlienBOB, I really wanna see your network/wireless article on the wiki, it helped me getting online ! And when your online, all other problems can be googled/LQed If you want I can duplicate it. (BTW if you could check this post, I dunno how relevant my bug was to the wireless scripts).

Oh nostalgia, I learnt Logo and BASIC when I was 8yo at school ^^ What was the purpose of your translation: educational, recreational, professional ? I may have learnt on your translated versions !
On the dark side, I remember when Texas Instruments decided to translate EVERY function names in their Ti89 in people's native languages. So my french friends were unable to use ANY of the programs written in english without a prior functions translation (not even talking about strings huh). I ended up installing the EN firmware in their calcs ... The intention was nice, but it was practically useless.

C'était dans le cadre d'un mémoire soutenu en vue d'obtenir le diplôme de psychologue du travail du Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers :
"Mise à disposition directe des utilisateurs d'un micro ordinateur dans un service de gestion : étude psycho-sociologique". As traslated by Google:
Quote:
This was part of a thesis supported in order to obtain the diploma of occupational psychologist at the National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts:
"Provision of direct users of a microcomputer in a service management: study psycho-sociological
By the way that was the first "personal computer" used in Billancourt plant of Renault. And I wrote a Logo interpreter in BASIC

Wow ok, nice background ! 30 years ago, I was barely born ^^
And funny that at that time, a psycho-social study was needed in order to prove PC's usefullness at work
I wanted to ask you about the conclusions of the study, but I'll PM instead, let's stick to the original debate.

About that, are you trying to imply that Google translate is now good enough for us to check the correctness of foreign languages translations ? The FR to EN is almost correct.
BTW, AlienBOB's docuwiki seems to handle translations.

Technically, there is nothing impossible : https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugins?plu...tension__table I think we going to find what we are looking for.

I chose the copy-paste way (for example http://taper.alienbase.nl/dokuwiki/slackware:install). Far from hassle-free, but it gets the ball rolling .

I'm gonna copy AlienBOB's wireless page on his wiki.

I have a question though: how can one know who's writing what, at a precise time ?
Shouldn't we establish a list of tasks, and attribute them to precise people ?

Like:
- import Slackbook TOC -> ?
- import wireless article -> zithro
- ...

Eric might want to do that himself.

We can't. We're in different time-zones, and with other things to do besides. An organised schedule and allocation of tasks isn't practical.

I suggest the introduction of the word "soon". It adheres to the KISS principle and works in all timezones, both in UTC and localtime.

I agree with you, but will also gladly know what AlienBob thinks about it.

Really, I think we should have planned the overall structure before anything else. What/how many sections/pages to have, subsections, etc.
