  23       <div class="body"><p>In my spare time, I currently work on a Norwegian
  24 <a href="http://www.docbook.org/">docbook</a> version of the 2004 book
  25 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> by Lawrence Lessig,
  26 to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with the copyright law
  27 I can give to my parents and others that are reluctant to read an
  28 English book.  It is a marvellous set of examples on how the ever
  29 expanding copyright regulations hurt culture and society.  When the
  30 translation is done, I hope to find funding to print and ship a copy
  31 to all the members of the Norwegian parliament, before they sit down
  32 to debate the latest revisions to the Norwegian copyright law.  This
  33 summer I
  34 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html">called
  35 for volunteers</a> to help me, and I have been able to secure the
  36 valuable contribution from at least one other Norwegian.</p>
  37
  38 <p>Two days ago, we finally broke the 50% mark.  Then more than 50% of
  39 the number of strings to translate (normally paragraphs, but also
  40 titles and index entries are also counted).  All parts from the
  41 beginning up to and including chapter four is translated.  So is
  42 chapters six, seven and the conclusion.  I created a graph to show the
  43 progress:</p>
  44
  45 <img width="80%" align="center" src="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png">
  46
  47 <p>The number of strings to translate increase as I insert the index
  48 entries into the docbook.  They were missing with the docbook version
  49 I initially started with.  There are still quite a few index entries
  50 missing, but everyone starting with A, B, O, Z and Y are done.  I
  51 currently focus on completing the index entries, to get a complete
  52 english version of the docbook source.</p>
  53
  54 <p>There is still need for translators and people with docbook
  55 knowledge, to be able to get a good looking book (I still struggle
  56 with dblatex, xmlto and docbook-xsl) as well as to do the draft
  57 translation and proof reading.  And I would like the figures to be
  58 redrawn as SVGs to make it easy to translate them.  Any SVG master
  59 around?  I am sure there are some legal terms that are unfamiliar to
  60 me.  If you want to help, please get in touch, and check out the
  61 project files currently available from <a
  62 href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>.</p>
  63
  64 <p>If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
  65 the updated
  66 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.pdf?raw=true">PDF</a>
  67 and
  68 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.epub?raw=true">EPUB</a>
  69 are published on github.  The HTML version is published as well, but
  70 github hand it out with MIME type text/plain, confusing browsers, so I
  71 saw no point in linking to that version.</p>
