Hi!

I am very interested by the Selinux 's project and would like to contribute.
I am a french engineer of 28 years old and work as developer. Im my

project (i  am working on a distribution from scratch where i have 
included selinux).

I'd like to know if i coulde eventually contribute to the documentation 
tasks (and/or translating webpages of the project)?

Best regards

samuel desseaux

The main problem with documentation at the moment is that much of it does not 
correctly describe the latest versions of the code, and there is not enough 
documentation.  Writing more documentation would be a really good thing.

One problem with translations is the issue of determining who wrote which 
content.  It might be better if you wrote an entirely new set of web pages 
describing SE Linux in French so that there would be no confusion over the 
origin of the content and also gives you full freedom to add more material 
whenever you wish.  See the below URL for what some German people are doing 
in this regard, doing something similar is probably the best idea.  Also it 
might be worth-while contacting them and seeing if you can work with them.  
At the minimum they may be able to provide web hosting for you.  If you are 
good at reading/writing German then maybe translating some of their 
documentation would be possible.  A site that has information on SE Linux in 
German, French, and English would be a very valuable resource in the EU, 
particularly for anyone who tries to get SE Linux used by the EU government.

If you do go down the track of a three-language SE Linux site then I will 
provide some original content in English and review all the English 
translations for language issues and content.

Hi!

I 'll try to contribute to the documentations and will follow your 
advices for translations.
