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