There you go buddy, I'll send the file to you in another mail (I don't
think everybody in the list needs it!).  I've left the links just like the
original ones (this is a translated/modified version of gnome-db/www/docs/index.php),
assuming that the doc directory hierarchy is going to be duplicated for
each language. I'd also like to inform that very soon the Gnome-db docs
will be available in Brazilian Portuguese aswell, I'm working on them.

I'd also like to propose an idea that came to my mind when I was translating
the following part of the index.php page:

"please <a href="mailto:webmaster gnome-db org">tell us</a> and we'll include it here."

I believe each language should have a contact person, that would then contact
the webmaster. This is for obvious reasons (maybe the person indicating some
docs just won't write English). It also creates a kind ombudsman that some people
won't be afraid to contact, ask quenstions, all that. I'd like to volunteer myself
to take care of the Portuguese portion. Maybe some other people would like to volunteer
themselves aswell.

This could go both here in the index page for the language specific documentation
part, and in a 'Contact Us' or 'Ask Questions' or something like that page, listing
the languages and who to talk to.

Just my sleepy ideas at 11:00 PM.
Cheers.
