Hi Max,

thank you for your mail and your good work :)

That review made some noise already on OSNews and other forums, I posted 
  a thread here http://www.bsddesktop.de/viewtopic.php?t=211 and a news 
on the website within 3-4 hours imho after that. I'm sure we need to 
tell people over and over again what's going on, this is one of the most 
important marketing jobs to do.

I thanked Theoden already and from the experiences I've seen and heard 
we are on a good way. I'm very confident RC3 will soon show a lot of 
improvement!

I'm eager to see any review of DesktopBSD, either positive or negative, 
maybe the latter more interesting, showing us where to improve.

I want to thank all our translators for the very good work, thank you 
guys and go on!

We have 10 translations ready or nearly ready, maybe that will increase 
to 15 or so next week. There was a lot of good work done, hopefully we 
can find more translators, users should be able to work with their 
native languages within DesktopBSD and KDE (FreeBSD itself is another 
matter).

I want to point out that after translations the start of documenting is 
key imho. I'm currently writing an agenda:
1. What needs to be documented/translated?
2. Where to start?
3. What infrastructure is needed for that?
4. When do we need what?
5. How to prepare for multi-lingual doc-translations?

I was impressed by the intro from Ot Ratsaphong on Monday and I 
encourage everybody to tell his opinion on doc.

Keep up the good work and god bless you!

Best regards, Daniel
