I use vim as well, but the sources are in docbook format (well, a derivate of it which is then translated into docbook version 4). If I may recommend something: try to use the language you have most experience with. The document doesn’t use anything fancy ;-)

Hi there~
I’d like to translate Linux Sea into Chinese.I know this is licensed under CC-by-nc-sa,but I think you should know this~
The translated version will be here:http://yegle.net/linux_sea/
currently It’s only English,but I’ll do it one by one.

This may not be revelant but i figured i’d post this anyway. If you’re using ubuntu 8.10 you may be in for some issues with the network manager. For some unknown reason it stops functioning. You will need to manually set you’re resolv.conf with your ISP’s DNS servers. That file is located in /etc/network/resolv.conf

Good job! Keep it up, man.
BTW, I suggest you make a todo list. So, others may be able to help. ;)

Nice document, but
http://dev.gentoo.org/~swift/linux_sea/x2998.htm
is wrong: Applications (or toolkits) usually do _not_ talk to the window manager, but to the X-Server.
Simple proof: Start an Xserver, start an xterm, but don’t start a window-manager — xterm will still work. :)
