        The content production inside &TCAR; has been divided into
c6510a
        individual work lines that relate one another based on the
c6510a
        idea of doing one thing well. In this model, the content
c6510a
        produced individually by each work line is combined one
c6510a
        another later to achieve higher purposes (e.g., corporate
c6510a
        identity for &TC;;). The repository work lines, as conceived
c6510a
        here, provide a relaible environment for people to work
c6510a
        syncronized and descentralized.

        The visual identity is the first component we work out in

c6510a
        <quote>motifs</quote> for all the visual manifestation &TC;;
c6510a
        is made of.  Once design models and artistic motifs are set in
c6510a
        place, graphic designers use the <function>render</function>
c6510a
        functionality described in 
c6510a

c6510a

        The content localization is the second component that must be

c6510a
        Through this work line translators localize source files
c6510a

c6510a
        localized automation scripts.  To localize source files,
c6510a
        translators use 
c6510a
        the <function>locale</function> functionality described in
c6510a
        <xref linkend="scripts-bash-locale" /> which takes care of
