Help Liberate the Debian Administrator's Handbook

First time accepted submitter buxy writes "Roland Mas and me [Raphael Hertzog] are the authors of a French Debian bestseller. We want to translate this book into English and publish it under a license compatible with the Debian Free Software Guidelines. That would be the first free and up-to-date book about Debian that can be integrated into Debian. But we need your support to make this happen. Pledge some money [toward the translation effort] and get a copy of the book once it's done! As a special bonus, you can alternatively support the project and have about 12% of the donated money given back to the Debian project."

FYI, Raphael isn't doing any other job than his work in Debian. His only resources are donations and this book. And he is the only person working on dpkg, which really, is a key piece in Debian. Donating to Raphael is a good investment, really! Thanks for your donation.
