That sounds pretty interesting from where I'm sitting, although it would
be interesting to see exactly how it deals with versioning of the
translation, I guess much in the same way as versioning for an original
document ?

I suppose it all boils down to whether contributors are going to provide
original documentation in their own language which can then be
translated into a myriad other languages, or whether we agree that en_US
is the reference language and any other language contributions can only
be translations thereof. The second option is, IMHO, more restrictive in
that it excludes, as I understand it, any possibility for original
contributions in a language other than EN. From this point of view, and
based on the fact that a lot of original documentation in the previous
OOo project actually came from non-English speaking projects (including
myself, having written both in English and French), it might be
preferable to have a l10n structure, but as I said, that is just my
personal opinion.

Sure, I can provide you with translations into French no problem, in
German as well I guess, unless someone else here volunteers (a native
German speaker for example ?)
