Hi Danilo,

Thanks for this. It is very helpful!

Some questions. In the example on how to update the "Contributors to
FreeBSD" article, it is said: "Just necessary translate index and
contrib-develinmemoriam."
In es/ we do not have any contributors/ directory. Not a big deal, we
can create a new one based on another language. But here is the
question. If we compare the directories pt_BR/ and en/:

 ls ../../../en/articles/contributors/
_index.adoc                   contrib-386bsd.adoc
contrib-additional.adoc       contrib-committers.adoc
contrib-corealumni.adoc       contrib-develalumni.adoc
contrib-develinmemoriam.adoc  contrib-portmgralumni.adoc

$ ls ../../../pt-br/articles/contributors/
_index.adoc                   _index.po
contrib-develinmemoriam.adoc  contrib-develinmemoriam.po

Should I base the new "Contributors" article in the English version or
another one?

Thanks!
