+ <div class="body"><p>Since this summer, I have worked in my spare time on a Norwegian <a
+href="http://www.docbook.org/">docbook</a> version of the 2004 book <a
+href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> by Lawrence Lessig.
+The reason is that this book is a great primer on what problems exist
+in the current copyright laws, and I want it to be available also for
+those that are reluctant do read an English book.
+
+When I started, I
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html">called
+for volunteers</a> to help me, but too few have volunteered so far,
+and progress is a bit slow. Anyway, today I broken the 70 percent
+mark for the first rough translation. At the moment, less than 700
+strings (paragraphs, index terms, titles) are left to translate. With
+my current progress of 10-20 strings per day, it will take a while to
+complete the translation. This graph show the updated progress:</p>

+
+<p>Progress have slowed down lately due to family and work
+commitments. If you want to help, please get in touch, and check out
+the project files currently available from
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>.</p>
+
+<p>If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
+the updated
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.pdf?raw=true">PDF</a>
+and
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.epub?raw=true">EPUB</a>
+are published on github. The HTML version is published as well, but
+github hand it out with MIME type text/plain, confusing browsers, so I
+saw no point in linking to that version.</p>

- <div class="body"><p>In my spare time, I currently work on a Norwegian
-<a href="http://www.docbook.org/">docbook</a> version of the 2004 book
-<a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> by Lawrence Lessig,
-to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with the copyright law
-I can give to my parents and others that are reluctant to read an
-English book. It is a marvellous set of examples on how the ever
-expanding copyright regulations hurt culture and society. When the
-translation is done, I hope to find funding to print and ship a copy
-to all the members of the Norwegian parliament, before they sit down
-to debate the latest revisions to the Norwegian copyright law. This
-summer I
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html">called
-for volunteers</a> to help me, and I have been able to secure the
-valuable contribution from at least one other Norwegian.</p>
-
-<p>Two days ago, we finally broke the 50% mark. Then more than 50% of
-the number of strings to translate (normally paragraphs, but also
-titles and index entries are also counted). All parts from the
-beginning up to and including chapter four is translated. So is
-chapters six, seven and the conclusion. I created a graph to show the
-progress:</p>
-
-<img width="80%" align="center" src="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png">
-
-<p>The number of strings to translate increase as I insert the index
-entries into the docbook. They were missing with the docbook version
-I initially started with. There are still quite a few index entries
-missing, but everyone starting with A, B, O, Z and Y are done. I
-currently focus on completing the index entries, to get a complete
-english version of the docbook source.</p>
-
-<p>There is still need for translators and people with docbook
-knowledge, to be able to get a good looking book (I still struggle
-with dblatex, xmlto and docbook-xsl) as well as to do the draft
-translation and proof reading. And I would like the figures to be
-redrawn as SVGs to make it easy to translate them. Any SVG master
-around? I am sure there are some legal terms that are unfamiliar to
-me. If you want to help, please get in touch, and check out the
-project files currently available from <a
