   Hello Martin!   
      
   ** On Wednesday 24.03.21 - 13:55, you wrote to me:   
      
    AA>> Here is section I.0   
      
    MF> Yes, very nice :)   
      
   Except for a couple of words that duplicated, I thought the     
   result was pretty good too!   
      
    AA>> So.. if we were to engage in this project, we would need to   
    AA>> settle on using the same svn program I suppose.

   Hmmm.   I installed tortoisesvn on my win7 DT pc but nothing     
   seemed to load.  I got a message saying "Read the manual!"  :/   
      
    MF> I wouldn't really recommend SmartSVN if you're new to version control, I   
    MF> feel that TortoiseSVN would be the better choice. The only reason I use   
    MF> SmartSVN is because there isn't a Linux version of TortoiseSVN.   
      
   The latest tortoisesvn versions don't support XP. But apparently     
   I can fetch an older version.   
      
    MF> However, I don't see the point of trying it out just yet because I   
    MF> haven't seen any volunteers step forward and therefore, there's no   
    MF> repository to try it out on.   
      
   But I could use some practice first, with your help - and     
   experiment with the paragraphs in section I for starters.   
      
   What minimum # of people do you envision should participate in     
   the translation project?   DeepL can work with 5000 chars at a     
   time.  The fido.tx file is about 133K chars.  That would make it     
   about 26 or 30 files in the depository?   
      
   From the sounds of it, svn is something I should have been using     
   all along especially for the invoices that I sometimes need to     
   modify and keep track of what was changed.   
      
   Apparently tortoisesvn "integrates" into windows explorer (the     
   file management display) but I can't seem to figure out how to     
   get started with anything.   
      
    AA>>>> But I suppose we would need a webbased versioning   
    AA>>>> system, not a local one for participants/editors?   
      
    AA>> Oh.. and one person is designated as managing and releasing the   
    AA>> final "master" copy?   
      
    MF> Yes, there would need to be a project coordinator.
