Yup. I already got an offer to translate the Magazine into French, and I agreed to lay out the resulting text. I'd be happy to do the same with any other language people would be willing to translate.
Yup!

Did I say such a thing? :-D
I just point to the fact that using invalid XHTML will discourage *some*
XHTML-savvy users, as putting a bimbo picture on the Magazine (p 12) -- with
no explanation whatsoever of the DEVO-stuff -- will discourage *some* women
(and maybe some "rabid feminists" as myself, lol).

I mentioned Debian-women because they have produced interesting work on
these issues, and invited you to read one of these articles. I don't claim
that jQuery should have a jQuery-women project!

Yup!

Of course, trash TV works too. Our point here is to try and make things
better. I think we all agree on this, and I'm getting back to my translation
of the docs.
