Re: Localizing GNOME 3 marketing messages

[Sumana Harihareswara <sumanah panix com>]

Andreas & Allan: is the text on gnome3.org easy to package up for 
translation?  And once you have the localized strings, can you make it 
possible for people to view their preferred language version of the 
website, either at a different URL or through some kind of 
i18n-detection magic?

Andre & Licio, some answers below:

I'm sorry for the delay in response.  I think the materials are in a few 
different formats:

The Talking Points are just on the wiki, in wiki markup: 
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/TalkingPoints
The GNOME3.org website, especially the front page and the FAQ -- not 
sure what the format is, asking Allan & Andreas.
The tagline is "Made of Easy" and that's just that string.

Yes, earlier would be better!  Licio, can you coordinate from here?
