+<title>Getting started with Windows 7 Sins translations</title>
+</head>
+
+<body>
+<h1>Thanks for your work in translating Windows 7 Sins</h1>
+
+<p>The website is quite small, and can be translated by a single
+person, or small team.</p>
+
+<p>To get started with translations, you will need the following things:</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>A Savannah account</li>
+ <li>An SSH key associated with your Savannah account</li>
+ <li>A Subversion client installed on your computer</li>
+ <li>Basic HTML experience</li>
+ <li>Basic text editor experience</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Don't worry if you're missing some of these — this guide will
+help you get started.</p>
+
+<h2>How Windows 7 Sins is built</h2>
+
+<p>The Windows 7 Sins website is built from small files containing
+snippets of HTML. These files are used by several different pages on
+the website, meaning you only have to translate something once, and it
+is reflected across the site.</p>
+
+<p>In addition, once you start working on a translation, you can check
+your changes in and see them reflected on the development site in a
+few minutes. And if you make a mistake, you can fix it quickly and
+easily.</p>
+
+<p>All translations of the Windows 7 Sins website, live on
+windows7sins.org. We use the ISO standard language code for each
+site. So, if you are translating the Spanish version of the website,
+your site will appear at http://es.windows7sins.org/ and your
+development site will be http://dev.es.windows7sins.org/ -- if your
+development site isn't working, please contact the Free Software
+Foundation's systems team, at address@hidden</p>
+
+<h2>Step one: Getting a Savannah account.</h2>
+
+<p>This is the first step, and hopefully, one of the easiest.</p>
+
+<p>To get your Savannah account, go to <a
+href="http://savannah.gnu.org/";>savannah.gnu.org</a> and sign up. Be
+sure to check your email after signing up to confirm your email
+address.</p>
+
+<p>Once you have your account, head over to the '<a
+href="https://savannah.gnu.org/my/groups.php";>My Groups</a>' page, and
+request inclusion on the 'win7trans' project, in the lower right side
+of the page.</p>
+
+<h2>Step two: Registering your SSH key with Savannah.</h2>
+
+<p>SSH (or Secure Shell) is a method of connecting to remote computers
+in a secure, encrypted way. You may have used SSH in the past to
+connect to your website, to upload files, or change your password.</p>
+
+<p>Sometimes, when you connect to a server with SSH, you enter a
+password, but to make things easier, you can generate a secure pair of
+'keys' on your computer. This pair of keys allow you to skip the need
+for passwords and allow other programs to connect to remote computers
+on your behalf. To check out the website for Windows 7 Sins, we use a
+system that keeps track of all the changes made to the website, called
+Subversion. Subversion is typically used by programmers to keep their
+programming code in a safe place, allowing other people to check it
+out, change it and send them bug fixes and suggestions.</p>
+
+<p>For the purposes of Windows 7 Sins, we use Subversion to make sure
+multiple people can work on the website at the same time, but to do
+this, Savannah needs to know your SSH public key.</p>
+
+<p>Your public key is usually stored in a file called id_rsa.pub or
+id_dsa.pub in a folder called .ssh in your home folder. You may not be
+able to see this, as most graphical file managers hide folders and
+files that begin with a period.</p>
+
+<p>Open up your favourite text editor (such as gedit or GNU Emacs) and
+try to open the file. If it doesn't exist, you may not have an SSH
+key. Generating one is easy, and Savannah has <a
href="http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/SshAccess";>a guide to generating an
SSH key</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Once you have a key, head over to <a
+href="https://savannah.gnu.org/my/admin/editsshkeys.php";>My SSH
+keys</a> and add your key. It can take up to an hour for your key to
+be registered by Savannah, so now is a good time to take a break.</p>
+
+<h2>Step three: Installing subversion</h2>
+
+<p>Subversion is pretty easy to install, you should be able to find it
+in your regular package manager on your GNU/Linux machine.</p>
+
+<p>Once you have Subversion installed, at a terminal type this:</p>
+
+<p>svn co svn+ssh://<yourusername&rt;@svn.savannah.gnu.org/win7trans</p>
+
+<p>Be sure to replace <em>yourusername</em> with your Savannah username.</p>
