The writer of the announcement: http://groups.drupal.org/node/7174 entitled "1år" has tagged their announcement as "Drupal Norge" (site-wide tag). When a user clicks the tag, the title of the taxonomy page will be "Drupal Norge". We just would like to clear out that the said announcement is not in any way affiliated with the website "Drupal Norge" at http://www.drupalnorge.no We strongly hope that this was done by mistake, and not intended to confuse users. Thank you.

Greetings from Drupal Norge (http://www.drupalnorge.no)

Due to the changes in the strings of Drupal 5.2:

• some strings were removed due to the removal of Apache requirements
• some string were added due to CSRF holes plugged in with confirm forms
• some strings have been clarified

a new version of the Norwegian Bokmål localization file has been released. Moreover, a bug in the system module localization file has also been fixed.

If you updated your site to or installed Drupal 5.2, we strongly suggest that you use Norwegian Bokmål localization file, version 2.2

Please visit http://www.drupalnorge.no/support if you need help.

A major release of Norwegian Bokmål translation is now available. This is of course a 100% translation of the Drupal core brought to you by Drupal Norge.

There are more than 1000 changes in this norwegian release based from Skolelinux' wordlist and norwegian bokmål rules stated by Språkrådet. This is the reason why we have to release a major version 2.0.

Please report all bugs and improvements at the official website of the translation effort at http://www.drupalnorge.no/forum/utvikling/sprakfiler

English: The reason we have deprecated the nynorsk (nno) and the norwegian (no) projects at drupal.org is that we are promoting the correct use of language codes for Norwegian Bokmål and Norwegian Nynnorsk, which are nb and nn respectively. A patch has been sent as an issue at drupal.orgs Issue Tracker to support this standardization. Hopefully, this will be implemented from Drupal 6.x

In the meantime, we at Drupal Norge would like to remind everyone to support this journey to standardized norwegian language codes in Drupal by correcting their sites. Instructions on this matter are to be found in both english and norwegian versions.

Instructions in english:
http://drupal.org/project/nb
http://drupal.org/project/nn

Instructions in norwegian can be found in the norwegian Drupal handbook (Installering og grunnleggende konfigurering):
http://www.drupalnorge.no/bok/installering-og-grunnleggende-konfigurerin...

The instructions are for those who are installing the norwegian language/s from scratch. If you use «no» on your existing site and need help or support in changing it to nb or nn, you can create a support ticket at http://www.drupalnorge.no/support.

Etter en lang diskusjon innen administrasjonen i Drupal Norge, har vi bestemt oss for å ta farvel angående den barnslige konflikten mellom de to norske Drupal nettstedene.

Vi spør ikke eksisterende brukere å velge mellom de to norske nettsteder. Vi har åpnet "distribuert godkjenning" som tillater brukere av alle Drupal nettsteder verden over å logge seg på Drupal Norge, selv om brukeren aldri har registrert seg hos oss.

Drupal Norge slutter nå også med å reagere på enkelte individers forsøk å legge oss ned. Vi skal aldri reagere, motarbeide og markedsføre på hvem er nummer 1 og hvem samler Drupal brukere i Norge. Vi bare håper at alle partier er voksne nok til å respektere at vi har bare ett mål, å hjelpe hverandre. Vi skal nå bare konsentrere oss med de prosjektene vi tror på, har startet med, og har jobbet hardt for.

Drupal Norge, your user-driven community site for translators, developers, and users of Drupal in Norway, has been adding more and more features to help promote Drupal in Norway as well as features for helping existing norwegian users with their own Drupal installations.

New additions such as the "Drupal support på norsk", to be found at http://www.drupalnorge.no/support, is a forum category transformed into a Q&A feature ala Yahoo Answers where users who gave answers to support- questions are also highlighted in a sort-of Hall of Fame block. "Håndbøker på norsk", to be found at http://www.drupalnorge.no/bok, are 3 user handbooks in norwegian. Drupal Norge's user and node search can also be installed automatically as additional search providers for the Firefox and Internet Explorer. These two browsers automatically discover Drupal Norge's search plug-ins. Instructions on the latter are to be found at http://www.drupalnorge.no/sok-drupal-norge-vha-sokeboksen-i-din-nettlese... or visit the site and take a look at your browser's search bar.

Drupal Norge was launched on the 14th of February 2007. The site's address is http://www.drupalnorge.no.

Well... there are no fireworks nor a celebrity party with coctails and hors d'oeuvres. The site just opened. :-)

Drupal Norge is hoping for a very active community of developers, translators, users and providers of Drupal in Norway.

In response to comment Not to be found on Drupal Support

Btw, shouldn't Drupal Norge be listed on http://drupal.org/support under Other languages?

And, I liked the old theme better than the one currently set at Drupal Norge ;)

Hei!

All core translation templates are 100% translated in this bokmål release.

We have been releasing new versions too fast and this will be changed. This version will stay until we have officially launched the Drupal Norge website and have gotten feedbacks from the norwegian community.

Roadmap:

• We expect to release a 5.x-2.0 after this version. This version will be based from the changes and standardization decisions from the Drupal Norge community.
• Grammar checking, standardization of module names and commonly used terms are major priorities in versions 5.x-1.4-nb and above
• Work on the Nynorsk version 5.x.1.0-nno is planned.
