The LDP Becomes TLDP and i18n's Itself

Guylhem writes: "The Linux Documentation Project has a new domain name. You can now find the LDP on the web at www.tldp.org This name change came about due to some difficulties with the linuxdoc domain name (see linuxdocs.org, linuxdoc.com...) : in order to have clear rights to the domain name, the LDP had to relocate its primary services site. You can still reach access the LDP by pointing your browser to www.linuxdoc.org, but you will be redirected to www.tldp.org site." A few more details below.

Linuxdoc.org will be supported for compability reasons for the next 5 years. This move may come as a surprise for many LDP faithful, but the majority of the staff believed that the change was necessary to assure that the LDP would be available for the next wave of new Linux users.

The LDP will take care of this opportunity to improve internationalization - english (en.tldp.org), french (fr.tldp.org) and brasilian (br.tldp.org) content will be online soon. We intend to share as many resources (code, cvs, systems) as possible between the different localised versions. Within the next weeks, www.tldp.org will take you to the language your browser has been configured to accept as default. Feel like a closet writer? Whatever your mother tongue is, join us now!"

What the heck does "i18n's" mean?

i18n is short for internationalization. It is abreviated as i18n because there are 18 characters between the i and the n.
