The creation of the french HTML and docbook files will be more easy if the 
files are put into the CVS like the german translation. The makefiles will 
then be created automatically for you.

I know that translating the howto is very hard - I did the german translation. 
Translating the handbook is a more easy task. The HowTo is the most difficult 
part of the translation.

I'm really glad that you still work with us although the translation costs a 
lot of time!

What feature are you missing in BibleTime? I'd be glad to implement a cool 
feature for you as a return service if the feature fits into our design 
decissions. Don't hesitate to post a feature idea!
