Great, then you have the underlying knowledge...

If you just take a look under the "getting started" page on www.xorp.org 
  you should be able to get a grip of the XORP configuration and "adapt" 
you Cisco skillz to XORP :)
If you have any specific questions then just mail the list again (and 
don't forget to include your XORP conf) and we'll help you out to the 
best of our ability :)

I don't know if there is a translation project yet, but it would of 
course be great to have documentation in local languages!
