   5 <p>I reported earlier that I am working on
   6 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html">a
   7 norwegian version</a> of the book
   8 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> by Lawrence Lessig.
   9 Progress is good, and yesterday I got a major contribution from Anders
  10 Hagen Jarmund completing chapter six.  The source files as well as a
  11 PDF and EPUB version of this book are available from
  12 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>.</p>

  14 <p>I am happy to report that the draft for the first two chapters
  15 (preface, introduction) is complete, and three other chapters are also
  16 completely translated.  This completes 26 percent of the number of
  17 strings (equivalent to paragraphs) in the book, and there is thus 74
  18 percent left to translate.  A graph of the progress is present at the
  19 bottom of the github project page.  There is still room for more
  20 contributors.  Get in touch or send github pull requests with fixes if
  21 you got time and are willing to help make this book make it to
  22 print. :)</p>

  24 <p>The book translation framework could also be a good basis for other
  25 translations, if you want the book to be available in your
  26 language.</p>
