Hello Martin!

Except for a couple of words that duplicated, I thought the

Hmmm.   I installed tortoisesvn on my win7 DT pc but nothing  
seemed to load.  I got a message saying "Read the manual!"  :/

The latest tortoisesvn versions don't support XP. But apparently  
I can fetch an older version.

But I could use some practice first, with your help - and  
experiment with the paragraphs in section I for starters.

What minimum # of people do you envision should participate in  
the translation project?   DeepL can work with 5000 chars at a  
time.  The fido.tx file is about 133K chars.  That would make it  
about 26 or 30 files in the depository?

From the sounds of it, svn is something I should have been using  
all along especially for the invoices that I sometimes need to  
modify and keep track of what was changed.

Apparently tortoisesvn "integrates" into windows explorer (the  
file management display) but I can't seem to figure out how to  
get started with anything.

 MF> Yes, there would need to be a project coordinator.
