===== Greek Documentation Project =====

[[Doc/Translation/Greek/GreekVersion|Greek Version]]

==== Who are we? ====

We are a group of Greek people using %%FreeBSD%% in our homes and work places. Some of us also implement %%FreeBSD%%-based solutions for others. We believe the system is great, and hope to make it accessible to more people by translating the documentation into our native language.

==== Why join us? ====

Although you will not have any monetary benefits, there are more than enough reasons to join our team:

  * You will feel your work is important: You will be assisting an international voluntary project, used by millions of people.
  * You will gain the respect of people that will use your work.
  * You will understand your system better, and also communicate with people that share your views.
  * You will gain technical knowledge on the way the documentation system works.
  * It is the kind of work you can actually show (and prove) on your CV.

==== How to join the translators team ====

The easiest way to join is through our mailing list:

  * You can start by viewing the list [[http://lists.hellug.gr/pipermail/freebsd-doc-el/|archives]]
  * You can send an [[freebsd-doc-el@lists.hellug.gr|email]] to our list

==== What you will need ====

  * Some spare time
  * The will to help
  * A good (not necessarily perfect) knowledge of the English language

==== What you will not need ====

  * Special equipment and software. An editor, spell checker and an Internet connection is all that is required. A simple dial up connection is sufficient, if that is all you have.
  * Expert's knowledge or programming. Most of the times you simply translate the English text, there is no need to change the markup language used (which is simple anyway).
