I was not in copy of this mail but it arrives in English on the French
lists.

I can imagine the work it could be.

I, through the French association (and I think a few others) can offer
some space to have all in one place. But the issue is, since the
beginning, that Kami is working alone.
Even if we (fr community) supported what he is doing, no way for us to
collaborate.
Even if we (fr community) supported the global scope, there is some
rules (at least the French law) to respect, so no way for us to
collaborate if it's not respected
Even if we (fr community) have some resource to offer, things are going
else where or off list, so, one more time, no way to collaborate.

As long as, respect of law, needs and collaboration are discussed
together, I'm sure the community will be willing to help.

How do I (and how do I help the FR community which is willing to
contribute) help to contribute to this project taking into acount what I
said above.

Kind regards
