fr.tldp.org has been long dead. That is why we started working together
with traduc.org. The little french flag in the upper right corner of the
tldp.org home page also refers to traduc.
If we look at the Spanish LDP for instance, they have documents that are
originally written in Spanish, and until those are translated into
English, they won't be in the HOWTO or Guides collections at tldp.org
itself. So I imagine that the same goes for French. I've been directing
people with non-English documents to appropriate groups for years, because
we wouldn't know how to check accuracy of non-English documents.
Following that practice, a new German project is in the make, because the
existing one is dead.
I don't mean to shoo anybody away from the main LDP project by doing this,
but we have to deal with some limitations, I guess.
Tille.
