An introduction

First of all I'd just like to say that I am really excited about working for the Tor project in this year's Google Summer of Code.

My name is Runa Sandvik and I am a student at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). This summer I will be working on the translation wiki for the Tor website - making it possible to translate the website via Pootle. At the moment the Tor project uses wml for the website and Pootle to handle translations for various projects such as Torbutton and Vidalia. To make it easier for translators, translating the website should be possible via Pootle. I intend to use the po4a framework to convert the .wml files to .po files (and back) so that they can be handled by Pootle.

I will try to keep this blog updated with news about my progress during the summer. Feel free to comment here or join #tor on OFTC (irc.oftc.net) should you want to discuss this project or ask any questions.
