Translating brochure

I am also interested in translating the brochure, and maybe some other materials into Spanish.

So my question is the same as David's and also, is there any interest in having avilable in drupal.org some marketing materials in languages different than English?

Translations are welcome. I don't know if a source file is available but you could ask kika.

The source file is unfortunately in Adobe InDesign so it is probably not much of an help

Easiest thing to do is to copy-paste the text from http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/docs/marketing/bookle... using Adobe Acrobat:

-- Benefits --

Standards Compliant

Drupal uses standards-compliant methods such as
XHTML, separation of content and layout through CSS and
clean URLs to make sites accessible and to improve search
engine ranking.

Stable

Drupal uses a database abstraction layer with support for
several engines such as MySQL and PostgreSQL. Along
with support for database table prefi xes, Drupal has been
extensively tested under high loads (such as a “Slashdot
effect”) and also includes built-in throttling and caching for
optimal performance.

Supported

There is an active developer and user community that
participates in mailing lists, forums, and IRC. Several consultants also offer paid support and development using Drupal, and several ISPs specialize in hosting Drupal sites.

Open Source

Drupal is licensed
under the terms of the
GNU General Public
Licence (GPL),
giving the freedom
to customize and
redistribute the code.

Here to stay

Drupal has been in continuous development for over three
years. The same group of primary developers refi nes and
improves the code and encourages more people to create
additional modules, contribute patches, and write vital
documentation. The growing momentum is evidenced by
many new websites and projects committing to Drupal.

-- Drupal Architecture --

Drupal Modules

Drupal’s architecture is truly modular. Apart from a few
core modules, all plug-ins can be switched on and off as
required for the chosen setup. Available modules include
the following:

* Customizable User Profiles
* Forums
* Weblogs Forums
* E-mail Notifications
* Event Calendar
* Custom Module

Drupal Core

The Drupal core is the glue that binds everything together.
While Drupal modules focus on specifi c features, the
core contains common functions such as content and
user management. Thanks to the infrastructure provided
by the core, modules integrate seamlessly into Drupal.

* Content Management
* User Management
* Taxonomy
* Localization
* Templating
* Syndication

--Key Features--

Taxonomy

Drupal does much more than implement simple categories.
Instead, Drupal’s fl exible taxonomy system allows creation
of unlimited separate classifi cation schemes. Each of these
schemes can be arranged as a simple list, as a tree, or as
a tree with interconnected branches. Administrators can
choose different schemes to associate with each content
type, and users may then browse tagged content by its
taxonomy terms.

Collaborative Book

The book feature organizes content into a nested hierarchy.
It is particularly well-suited for manuals, Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs), and user-contributed documentation.
Comments may be posted to book pages, previous content
revisions may be provided, and pages can be moved
amongst the hierarchy at any time.

Syndication

Drupal creates a syndicated RSS feed for others to gather
with a “news aggregator,” such as NetNewsWire or Feed-
Demon. This allows your readers to view your latest content
from the comfort of their desktop. Similarly, Drupal
provides its own built-in web aggregator for reading and
collecting news from other sites.

Localization

The Drupal interfaces can be translated to make your
Drupal website accessible in one or more languages.

--Use Cases--

Corporate Sites

Drupal works well for internal and external corporate sites
because of its fl exible permissions system and easy webbased
publishing.

Community Sites

Drupal excels as a platform for news sites and other
communities where stories are provided by the audience.
Incoming stories are automatically voted upon by the readers
and the best stories are promoted to the home page.
Submissions with poorer quality or of lesser interest are
hidden after enough negative votes.

Campaign Sites
Due to its strong networking, collaborative, and community
capabilities, Drupal is a powerful choice for grassroots
political campaigns.

Educational Sites

As an online course platform, Drupal facilitates a strong
community-building environment and enhances studentcentered
collaborative learning. A package for education
distribution with extensive documentation is available.

Personal Sites

Drupal is great for a personal web site where the owner can
keep a blog, publish photos, and maintain a collection of
links.
