Hi poignant-translators-list!

status:
The chapters 1-3 are translated, except for the "Concerning Commercial Uses"
sidebar.
But that wasn't the biggest problem. Next, I go for The Tiger's Vest (because
it's important for beginners.) After that, I'm starting the real heavy chapters 4-6.

If you want to know the status, look at WeEiR's cute pink progress bar:

CB:
I decided to leave Chunky Bacon as it is in the German edition. No translation
sounded good enough, and I wanted to add the German readers to all the folks
chanting "Chunky! Bacon!" when they want more Ruby. Maybe I add my own
meta-sidebar about it? ;)
Chunky Bacon is an artistic creation, it is a LyricConstant, it's freezed.

Do you agree? Or do you know The Perfect German Translation for Chunky Bacon?


@why:
Could you put the new version on RubyForge?
(psst! I'm still waiting for the comics ;)

Hi,

Some time ago I began to translate wpgtr to French. Unfortunately I
didn't have time at this moment to do it right.
Now the time has come ;)

So if any of you is thinking about helping/contributing to the French
translation, please do not hesitate !

I try to regenerate the wpgtr, but it seems that some things have
changed since the last time I did it ... and these things are not
mentionned in the README :) :

  - it seems the syntax gem is now needed
  - RedCloth version > to 3.0.3 is needed (for the lite_mode), but no
    gem is available right now, only the CVS version.

Best Regards,
