   5 <p>I am currently working on a
   6 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html">project
   7 to translate</a> the book
   8 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> by Lawrence Lessig
   9 to Norwegian.  And the source we base our translation on is the
  10 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DocBook">docbook</a> version, to
  11 allow us to use po4a and .po files to handle the translation, and for
  12 this to work well the docbook source document need to be properly
  13 tagged.  The source files of this project is available from
  14 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>.</p>

  16 <p>The problem is that the docbook source have flaws, and we have
  17 no-one involved in the project that is a docbook expert.  Is there a
  18 docbook expert somewhere that is interested in helping us create a
  19 well tagged docbook version of the book, and adjust our build process
  20 for the PDF, EPUB and HTML version of the book?  This will provide a
  21 well tagged English version (our source document), and make it a lot
  22 easier for us to create a good Norwegian version.  If you can and want
  23 to help, please get in touch with me or fork the github project and
  24 send pull requests with fixes. :)</p>
