+               <description>&lt;p&gt;In my spare time, I currently work on a Norwegian
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version of the 2004 book
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; 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
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html&quot;&gt;called
+for volunteers&lt;/a&gt; to help me, and I have been able to secure the
+valuable contribution from at least one other Norwegian.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;img width=&quot;80%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; src=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png&quot;&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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 &lt;a
+href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
+the updated
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.pdf?raw=true&quot;&gt;PDF&lt;/a&gt;
+and
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.epub?raw=true&quot;&gt;EPUB&lt;/a&gt;
+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.&lt;/p&gt;
