Good morning,
i'd like to help with development of S9y.
But at first:
Czech localisation is in 2 versions - „cs“ and „cz“ (with different encodings iso-8859-2 and cp1250). Why? Is possible convert it into single file - multibyte UTF-8?
I think, that native charsets are deprecated.
We have plans to remove the native charsets and replace it all with UTF-8, but no code is done yet. We'd need to convert the UTF-8 to the native charsets if that blog ran on them before.
But feel free to mainly ignore the encodings for the translation. Do it in the UTF-8 files, and then either copy them over and change the encoding in your editor, or ask us to do that for you.
We have no real developer tutorial. There are some information in the wiki: http://www.s9y.org/40.html. There is a german book: https://github.com/s9y/Book. And the rest is distributed in the forum or the blogs of the developers.
You might want to check the draft of https://github.com/s9y/s9y.github.io which contains a lot of improved text already, but we're working on the proper structure...
