LuCAS means literally Linux in Spanish. The success of that first project and the number of volunteers that joined us shortly after allowed us to become organized and undertake other projects.

To translate a manual we request volunteers to our mailing lists. The coordinator of the public translation publishes a set of rules and recommendations in order to maintain a level of clarity and promptitude needed to reach deadlines. Then we send out chapters to those people really interested on the project. The revisions operate similarly but under shorter deadlines. For example, my habit is to start sending emails to people several days after the deadline.
