Damn Italian software!
December 19th, 2007
Hi English Debian-Community Planet! :-)
A few days ago I've created a new page on the Debian wiki for collecting a list of (free) software which interfaces, documentation or websites are not fully available in English as they are in Italian, by section.
This has several purposes:
- making more people aware about interesting software;
- helping to package ‘non-internationalized’ software;
- making some software more useful outside Italy and/or for non-Italian speakers.
- (perhaps) contributing to create a repository for truly Italy-specific packages, which won't be internationalized, and so on...
- etc.
It is really simple to edit the wiki page; if you know free software (but important non-free software is OK, too) like that please add it, creating new sections when necessary. If you can provide an English long description, please put it into http://wiki.debian.org/PkgItalianOnly/$SOFTWARE_NAME. And of course, if you need help or even some translation, you can simply mail me.
P.S.: Do you know about any similar initiative for other languages/countries?
