Given that we want to moderate content I am afraid original content needs to be contributed or translated in English before published. Same is true for updates to existing documents. And this not only makes sense for moderation, if we want content to be translated to as many languages as possible, it is easier to have a single language to translate to/from and English makes the most sense for that too. BTW I think retaining revision numbers in translated documents makes a lot of sense here too. Wouldn't it be nice if somehow MoinMoin would have a relation between original and translated content to it could keep track and report about changes ? -- -- dag wieers, dag at centos.org, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
