Good thanks, I am already looking forward to reading it ... and
translating it to French.
Putting action next to verbs , I have already created
http://wiki.ael.be/index.php/PostgresqlAdvocacy
inside the wiki setup by the AEL, the Belgian association for the
promotion of human rights in the information society, in fact working
very much at the promotion of free software in Belgium.
So far the wiki is freely editable but this can be changed if you will :
to edit, just click "edit" in the lower right corner.
I ahev already put some ideas that have circulated in the ML and another
that I copy here:
* publish the newsletter with translations, just like ?MandrakeClub
Newsletter and Brave GNU World (http://www.gnu.org/brave-gnu-world/)
that can be reproduced freely in paper magazine, and allow for
interedted people to subscribe in their language of choice
(NicolasPettiaux, 31/10/2002 15:16)
I am ready to translate the document to French and I suppose I can find
translator to Dutch.
Regards,
nicolas
