  Hi all,

I taked a quick-look at the Lorodux and want to express my thanks to 
those people, who are supporting it, especially to Luluan and Daniel. 
Your work really makes the difference.
I am interested in the project, not only as user, but possibly as a 
developer too. I am willing to learn java and I hope I'll be able to 
contribute to the project.
Currently, I see one issue, that, in my opinion, can be a problem. The 
whole program isn't easily translatable (strings aren't marked for a 
translation, but are printed directly in German instead), and, more 
over, the source code is documented in German. I suspect that the first 
limitation will be solved as it is noted in the project requirements, 
but I want to bring your attention to the second one. While I very 
respect each language and a willing of each person to operate in his/her 
native language, it became  an industrial standart for programmers to 
document source code in English. It is understandable by most 
programmers, and therefore more people are able to contribute. I really 
hope that this point will be addressed soon, because I think that the 
project has a long future and the more people will be able to 
contribute, the faster the project will grow.


Lex
