Anyone up for a docathon at ApacheCon Austin?

I've been holding onto posts with good fodder for the incubator site,
but haven't had time to incorporate them yet.

I'll be at the hackathon on Tuesday Oct 10. Is anyone else up for a
docathon? (Or did I miss a post already suggesting one? *chagrin*)

I won't be in the AC, unfortunately. Yesterday I was discussing with
some people about using CAT in OS projects, and tools like omegat, and
specially formats like TMX came to mind.

One of the problems with manuals is that translating them (as an
ongoing, changing work) becomes a lot of effort. If we could embed
together all the local versions in an exchange format, the effort of
tracking changes in the "original", etc. would be smaller.

So, taking a look into tools, and specially formats, for CAT, could
pay a lot in the mmedium to long term.

I'll try to keep involved in this discussion, even though I won't be
physically there.

My Tuesday is a bit booked ATM, but I'm game to try to squeeze in help on
docs as my schedule permits.  -- justin

If there is one on Tuesday, great.  I'll be in a tutorial all day (can't get
out: I'm the one giving it :-)).  But if folks would work with Dave Reid on
improving our site automation, that'd be terrific.
