  18 Norwegian translation of the book Free Culture by Lessig.  Based on
  19 the <a href="http://www.sslug.dk/~chlor/lessig/">Docbook version by
  20 Hans Schou</a>.  Other versions of the book can be found from the
  21 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/remixes/">books remixes list</a>.
  22
  23 The first draft had images found in the HTML version available from
  24 <a href="http://www.ibiblio.org/ebooks/Lessig/index.html">Elegant
  25 Ebooks</a>, while later draft had these replaced with the original
  26 images provided by the author.

  30 github repository</a>.

  33 Text flow
  34 ---------
  35
  36 The original source for the book is freeculture.xml, a Docbook
  37 formattet file.  This file is transformed to the freeculture.pot,
  38 which is the base file for translators.  It was copied to
  39 freeculture.nb.po as the starting point of the Norwegian Bokmål
  40 translation, and the text blocks are translated in this file.  The
  41 translation is maintained using
  42 <a href="https://www.transifex.com/pere/free-culture-lessig/">Transifex</a>,
  43 making sure translators only need a browser and Internet connectivity
  44 to contribute.
  45
  46 Only the file freeculture.xml should be manually edited!
  47
  48 The freeculture.xml file is automatically combined with the
  49 freeculture.nb.po file to create a new generated file
  50 freeculture.nb.xml representing the Norwegian Bokmål Docbook version.
  51 This file is in turn used to generate the HTML, PDF and EPUB version
  52 of the book.
  53

 107
 108  * Complete the spell checking of the content (using the txt version

 110  * Publish first edition.

 112    scripts/idxcompare for helper script.)
