How's the plan of a multi-language wiki?  I think mediaWiKi do support  
multi-language. So, maybe we can start from wiki.freeswitch.org/zh_CN/  
or some structure else. While it is possible to follow the change log  
of the EN wiki to change Chinese version accordingly, it would be    
challenge to make sure the consistency. And regardlessly what if  
Chinese version change first?

I'd like to help with this. But I cannot translate all hundreds of  
pages and make it consistency by my self. But I'm pretty sure that we  
would get a group of ppl to do this. So the start maybe either  
translate some key pages and make the consistency, or translate as  
much pages ...

Email me off list on how to start this. :)
