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