I'm new do Dojo so I'm sorry if that's been discussed before...

Don't you think that it would be awesome to make Dojo more accessible to the international community? Especially with the new cool localization features in Drupal 6.

Things like interface and content translation, international communities. I know we're dealing with audio files, but maybe subtitles or just content translations with screenshots?

I know that Drupal's advancement in Russia is hampered by lack of good tutorials in Russian for beginning Drupal users who don't know much English (for some reason, Joomla/Mambo community is much more active and consequently is more attractive to not very technical folks).

Excellent point! Seems so obvious but we've never written it down. Thanks.

Is it ok if I try to help you out with this feature? I'm not a programmer (just learning databases and PHP) but I know Drupal and its modules well enough and it seems like an interesting project to tackle.

Well, with the Russian localization anyway :)

[15:02] agreed
[15:02] gusaus: what game is on?

Cool!

So, basically, we have to do 2 things:

a) translate interface - various translations are available, shouldn't be a problem
b) translate articles and/or videos - probably a Drupal 6.0 task?
