+
+<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>

+project files currently available from <a

+
+<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>
