Just to clarify, rather than hope I will will remember to email a newsite
I hoped that the translators could that for their local sites. Your great
suggestions for Chinese linux sites would be best emailed with a Chinese
translation from our Chinese translators at thizLinux for example. They
may even wish to put a link their own Chinese enabled rpms. Mhatta could
email a Japanese translation to the many, many Janapanese news sites.
Please remember to include general newsites like newspapers and of course
windows sites. AbiWord can be used by over 95% of the computer using
population :-)
I'd hoped to decentralize the work and increase the coverage. We have
translations for countries who have no other wordprocessor for Windows
other than MS Word.
Cheers
Martin
