That's great news (@Marian: I've just brought the github repo up to
date -- see my post just now to this list).

We should probably think a little about how we do translations then :-)

Options:

1. Use sphinx i18n capabilities: <http://sphinx.pocoo.org/latest/intl.html>
2. Have branches for different languages
3. Have different directories for different languages in main branch

Previous plan had been to put these on the main site at e.g.
opendatamanual.org/de/ or similar. See:

Yes, exactly. I think we may also want release points and translators
work off the release points ...
