+      <p>The &os; German Documentation project maintains the German
+	translations of &os;'s documents such as the Handbook and the
+	website.</p>
+
+      <p>In the second quarter of 2015, we managed to catch up with
+	the translation work of the Handbook.  Two chapters are now
+	back in sync with their English reference chapters:
+	filesystems and ZFS.  The former was mainly done by Björn
+	Heidotting as part of his mentee process.  The latter was done
+	by Benedict Reuschling, which valuable corrections by
+	Björn.</p>
+
+      <p>Additionally, we updated many of our translation markers from
+	pre-SVN times.  This will help us get an overview of the
+	outstanding work in each chapter.  We are working on
+	integrating this into our website using a script, so people
+	can see which chapters need the most work or are most
+	up-to-date.</p>
+
+      <p>Johann made efforts to update the &os; Documentation Project
+	Primer as well, so that translators willing to help us can
+	read the information in German.  He also made efforts to
+	revive the Documentation Project website, which was previously
+	hosted elsewhere, but disappeared.  Now, it is tied into the
+	German FreeBSD.org website again and has the same look and
+	feel.</p>
+
+      <p>Occasionally, people contact us and offer their help with the
+	translation effort.  We are happy to help newcomers get to
+	know everything about the translation process and look forward
+	to more contributions.  Even small updates make a big
+	difference and if you are considering to help, please contact
+	us.</p>
