-Thanks to the Debian Edu / Skolelinux project, I already had
-experience translating Docbook documents, and it seemed like a good
-format for this book too. I found a Docbook formatted version of the
-book created by Hans Schou. Initial testing showed lots of Docbook
-validation errors in this version, but after some work I was able to
-transform it to PDF and EPUB. This was the start of the translation
-project. The Docbook file improved over time, and build rules were
-added to create both English and Bokmål versions. Finally, a call for
-volunteers went out to help me with the translation.

-Several people joined, and Anders Hagen Jarmund, Kirill Miazine, Odd
-Kleiva and Kjetil Kilhavn assisted with the initial translation.
-Ralph Amissah and his SiSu version provided index entries. Morten
-Sickel and Alexander Alemayhu helped with the figures, redrawing some
-of the bitmaps as vector images. Wivi Reinholdtsen, Ingrid Yrvin and
-Johannes Larsen did very valuable proofreading. Håkon Wium Lie helped
-me track down a good replacement font without usage restrictions
-instead of the one in the original PDF. The PDF typesetting is done
-using dblatex, which we selected over the alternatives thanks to the
-invaluable and quick help from Benoît Guillon and Andreas Hoenen.
-Thomas Gramstad donated ISBN numbers needed for distribution to book
-stores. Marc Jeanmougin from the inkscape community helped me
-replicate the original front cover. The support of Lawrence Lessig
-helped me to complete the project—I am very thankful he had the
-original screen shots still available after 11 years.
