Good morning Peggy Just wanted to mention that you might also be interested in the de mailing list, they could also be interested in having you help out.
Here is a snip from a recent mail from Sigrid to another native DE speaker: "have a look at the startpage in the german section of oooauthors. You'll find there a lot of information on how to get started. There's also a "Übersetzungsleitfaden", that gives you some advice on how to start. For the beginning, there are some files in the "Revisionsliste" (on the right side), that you could review. Anyways, if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask - either here or on the german dev-list. ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). " hope this might help and Herzlich willkommen ;-) mfg Martin On Sun, 17 Feb 2008 18:15:12 +0000 (GMT) Peggy Strachan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear All, > > Last Friday I became a member of > http://www.oooauthors.org/ and signed up to this > mailing list.
