<div>Walter,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would be very interested in seeing the PERL scripts and makefiles, if they could be made available. I can usually hack my way out of a paper bag in PERL if I have my copy of the llama book nearby. I'm not interested in taking on web-master duties for <a href="http://www.laptop.org/">www.laptop.org</a>. I really hope someone internal will take up that, it's a significant lost opportunity to demonstrate competence at content translation management if that site is left in it's current state, I would however be willing to discuss/share ideas with someone who wants to take on that task. I'm not likely to undertake moving all the content from User:Felice space either, but at least I can see it there.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am mostly interested in documenting full process of content generation from scraping text (probably wget) to simple HTML markup to i18N version of markup + .pot file to localized versions. I'm hoping to harvest some good basic health content from sites like UNESCO, WHO and NIH where the content quality and copyright-free status is unquestionable and primary issue is reduced to i18n/l10n. I have more than adequate grasp of subject matter and I'm married to a professional medical writer, it's the ill-defined techy bits that are the barrier for me at this point.<br>
<br>Sayamindu, thanks for the offer of the POT files, I may take you up on it, but at this point, I can see enough examples on the wiki to answer my questions about valid POT format creation. I may well have questions about validating POT files or importing POT into Pootle at some point, but I'm just walking this step-by-step for now and trying to document as I go along, so I'm trying to take small bites.</div>
