    - Unify common arguments for all specific functionalities (e.g, --answer,
85972f
      --quiet, --filter, etc.) and leave just specific arguments for specific
85972f
      functions to parse. There is no need to duplicate common arguments
85972f
      definitions inside every specific functionality.
85972f
85972f
    - The `.sed' translation files are no longer used, scalable vector
85972f
      graphics are used instead.  Translation messages take place by means of
85972f
      xml2po and gettext. With xml2po translatable strings are retrived from
85972f
      `.svg' files and stored inside gettext `.pot' and `.po' files for
85972f
      translators to edit. Finally, xml2po is used again to build the temporal
85972f
      design model translated instance which the final `.png' image is built
85972f
      from.
85972f
36332d
    - The `trunk/Translation' directory structure is removed. The
5ac42a
      `trunk/Locales' directory structure is used instead to store locale
5ac42a
      information.

36332d
    - Inside centos-art.sh script, functionalities start to get
36332d
      identified and separated one from another. For example, when
36332d
      images are rendered, there is no need to load manual
36332d
      functionality. There are now common functionalities and specific
36332d
      functionalities. Common functionalities are loaded when the
36332d
      script is initiated and are available to specific
36332d
      functionalities.
36332d
36332d
    - The directory structure is optimized to implements the corporate
36332d
      identity concepts and the centos-art.sh script.  The CentOS
36332d
      Artwork Repository directory structure places the organizational
36332d
      convenctions that centos-art.sh script needs to do what we
36332d
      expect from it to do.
36332d
36332d
    - The following functionalities start to take form as part of
36332d
      centos-art.sh script:
36332d
36332d
      `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Render/render.sh'  
36332d
        
36332d
            To produce translated images using Inkscape and Sed
36332d
            replacement commands.
36332d
36332d
      `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Manual/manual.sh'  
36332d
        
36332d
            To produce documentation using Texinfo.  Almost all
36332d
            LaTeX-based documents were moved to Texinfo format and
36332d
            handled by manual functionality. 
7ab68a
     
36332d
      `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Locale/locale.sh'  
36332d

36332d
            using gettext.
36332d
36332d
      `trunk/Scripts/Functions/Shell/shell.sh'    
36332d

12241f
85972f
    - Corporate identity concepts taken from Wikipedia and related books are
85972f

85972f
      structure based on CentOS Mission and CentOS Release Schema. 
12241f
