| &TCAR; started at <ulink |
| url="mailto:centos-devel@centos.org">The CentOS Developers |
| Mailing List</ulink> around 2008, on a discussion about how to |
| automate slide images used by Anaconda. In such discussion, |
| Ralph Angenendt rose up his hand to ask —Do you have |
| something to show?—. |

| To answer the question, Alain Reguera Delgado suggested a bash |
| script which combined SVG and SED files in order to produce |
| PNG images in different languages —in conjunction with |
| the proposition of creating a Subversion repository where |
| translations and image production could be distributed inside |
| &TCC;—. |

| Karanbirn Sighn considered the idea intresting and provided |
| the infrastructure necessary to support the effort. This way, |
| &TCAS; and &TCAR; were officially created and world wide |
| available. |

| Once &TCAR; was available, Alain Reguera Delgado uploaded the |
| bash script Anaconda slides; Ralph Angenendt documented it |
| very well; and people started to download working copies of |
| the repository to produce slide images in their own languages. |
