The LDP will soon include five languages: English, French, Brazilian (Portuguese), Spanish and Korean. We decided awhile ago to actively work on bringing the translation projects, which traditionally have been separate efforts, into our fold as our equals.

Within the next few weeks and months, these sites will gradually be integrated into the LDP. This is really exciting for all of us, but there are a lot of technical hurdles to work through.

This is an extra incentive for me to have Lampadas ready soon. And also, the Gnome Documentation Project folks are seeking a solution to their management issues, because their DocTable has been broken for some time. Lampadas will do what they need, but it isn't ready yet and they need something soon. So, another incentive for me to get a 1.0 out the door soonish.

This weekend and today I've gotten huge amounts of Lampadas code banged out. I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of Python. The timing couldn't be better.

I posted a demo running the current cvs code at http://demo.lampadas.org. It is populated only with default data right now, so you can't really see much. I'll update it occasionally as I finish significant features.

Estimated beta date is still on schedule: end of July.
