I made a anonymous cvs checkout on phpdoc-de so far and took some xml tools that have been mentioned in the howto. Now i am a little bit lost with all the stuff i have to do. I got basic XML knowledge(learned it 2 years ago but never used it). Just let me explain where i had problems so far : I opened putty, connected to my unix box and did the cvs login. Than when i tried to use cvs checkout phpdoc-de it said something like 'no CVS root specified'. I had to figure out by myself what that means and how to solve the problem. --- cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository login "entering password" export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository cvs checkout cvs checkout phpdoc-de > cvscheckout.log -- Well basicly i would like to contribute german translations (not just one or two functions) but to do that i have to learn how to use cvs, xml... I don´t really see the point, why is there no webclient based on a MySQL DB? Is nobody able to set up a good cms system for the documentation? Anyways it would be great if anyone could help me on IRC or messenger (MSN, ICQ). I can search for others, who are interested as well and start a help-channel or something. When i figgure out how that stuff works i will do enough to make that help valuable in either case! tia, Jochen
