Currently the Icinga documentation is only available in English & German, we need to expand this to include many other languages. This is where you (the community) can help out! if you are already a translator for another project or would like to get involved in becoming one, then the Icinga Team welcomes you to the challenge…
The Icinga documentation is currently in XML format, a good application for editing the XML files is called XMLmind the personal edition is free to download. Next get yourself a fresh copy of the current documentation from the Icinga git repositories…
git clone git://git.icinga.org/icinga-doc.git
Once you have downloaded this, navigate your way to either the de or en directory and there you will find all the documentation XML files awaiting you!
So if this sounds like a challenge you would like to participate in, then please contact us at info@icinga.org to get your translations included into future releases of Icinga…

December 16 2009: Today the Icinga Team releases the Icinga Core 1.0. This is a milestone for both the team and the project as a whole. After many months of hard work we are proud to bring you a stable, alternative monitoring solution. This release includes many changes as suggested by the community and in particular the inclusion of Oracle in IDOUtils.
With just as many new improvements, Icinga Web UI has hit release 0.9.1 alpha. We have added a makefile for easier installation and fixed installation permission and cache problems. More changes are still to come, including an ExtJS update to 3.0.3. See below for the full list of new developments across Icinga Core, API, Docs and Web.
As we are always eager to keep the momentum going, we have decided to release the stable Icinga Core alongside the Icinga Web 0.9.1 alpha. These two will converge again in the coming months to a uniform release status. Till then, we hope you like the latest improvements.
