  24 Norwegian translation of the book Free Culture by Lessig.  Based on
  25 the <a href="http://www.sslug.dk/~chlor/lessig/">Docbook version by
  26 Hans Schou</a>.  Other versions of the book can be found from the
  27 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/remixes/">books remixes list</a>.

  29 The first draft had images found in the HTML version available from
  30 <a href="http://www.ibiblio.org/ebooks/Lessig/index.html">Elegant
  31 Ebooks</a>, while later draft had these replaced with the original
  32 images provided by the author.

  36 github repository</a>.

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