Huh?  The translation hasn't even started (except for the first  
para in section I)

OK!  But you said there had to be more people involved.  Now you  
say only two - how  'bout you and I?  :D

I think it would be much easier to monitor translations if the  
project proceeded subsectio by subsection.  The whole 150K char  
document would be a nightmare to monitor progress.  The editing  
work and approval amongst the team would be easier from to  
bottom in an orderly sequence.

I watched a few tortoisesvn YT videos.  Most of them were  
terrible - the host moving the mouse all over the place and NOT  
explaining WHY and WHERE he was moving the mouse.  Literally it  
was "go here, then here, to get that, oops..  I mean here, and  
then this.."  ARGHHHH!

To get started I would need to get an earlier version of  
tortoisesvn that supports XP.

The only other thing I don't understand and is HOW and WHERE is  
the "repository" hosted so that the files are availble to other  
editors interested in the project?
