OK, but they've probably seen enough of my questions recently.  
Whenever I start something different, it's difficult for me, so I  
have to ask a lot of questions.

I have read the document, but I've only just started with CVS/SVN. I  
can commit my application .po files, but unless I have a very  
definite committal address which I can relate to my working copy, I  
don't know exactly what to do with anything else. Just saying:

"Commit it to gnomeweb-wml/www.gnome.org/start/2.12/notes/docbook/ 
LANG/LANG.po where LANG is your language code"

isn't enough information for me. How does that relate to my working  
copy? Where do I put this document, so it's in the right place? I  
don't have a directory called www.gnome.org.

Once I know where to create directories in my working copy, do I  
simply cd to the ../docbook/vi dir. and commit from there?

Do I edit a changelog?

I don't think we can assume that everyone is experienced in CVS.

Where do I find the file?
What do you mean by "your locale name"?

He's gone to a lot of trouble to send me quite a few shots, so I  
think we'll have a good representation. However, I'll need exact  
instructions on how to commit them, too.

I know. However, I can't track build errors, since I don't know what  
they are. What am I supposed to look for? When I find it, what am I  
supposed to do?

(I feel awfully stupid, asking all these basic questions, but I don't  
know the answers, and I need to know.)

_Another_ mailing list? Where do I find it, please?
