-have worked 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.  Yesterday, I finally broken the 90% mark, when counting the
-number of strings to translate.  Due to real life constraints, I have
-not had time to work on it since March, but when the summer broke out,
-I found time to work on it again.  Still lots of work left, but the
-first draft is nearing completion.  I created a graph to show the
-progress of the translation:</p>
-
-<p><img width="80%" align="center" src="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png"></p>
-
-<p>When the first draft is done, the translated text need to be
-proof read, and the remaining formatting problems with images and SVG
-drawings need to be fixed.  There are probably also some index entries
-missing that need to be added.  This can be done by comparing the
-index entries listed in the SiSU version of the book, or comparing the
-English docbook version with the paper version.  Last, the colophon
-page with ISBN numbers etc need to be wrapped up before the release is
-done.  I should also figure out how to get correct Norwegian sorting
-of the index pages.  All docbook tools I have tried so far (xmlto,
-docbook-xsl, dblatex) get the order of symbols and the special
-Norwegian letters ÆØÅ wrong.</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?  There are also some legal terms that are unfamiliar to me.
