Hello, Karsten!

We (Russian Team) can make translation for 1-2 days. 
I hope most of translators can prepare their part of 
work within the same period.

If we will use CVS that allows us translate only difference 
in future such time will be minimized up to one day.

For now there is no dedicated person for this task. For the last 
year only I and two translators try to discuss this topic.

I think we can ask Sarah Wang <sarahs at redhat.com> or I can 
coordinate this efforts for first time.

I have watched for this list for four months and understand 
in general how Release Notes is produced now.

It`s good idea to prepare some HOWTO for translation team
about WiKi/CVS access and translation procedure.

I think we can use xml2po ulitity to prepare traditional POT/PO
files for tranlation and then reconstruct XML document.

Translators will be glad to discuss and begin translation process 
for this part of Documentation.

Best regards,
Andrew Martynov
