You should use whatever method works for you and the German team. I was just interested if there was something you were doing that could be adapted for the English section of the ODF Authors process. With a few exceptions, it seems that we lack a sufficient number of contributors with your determination (impatience) to get the job done. > > BTW I will not start laughing a your translations until my > > knowledge of German is better than your knowledge of English.

Any chance you could encourage some of the German team's bi/multi-lingual members to help out with this? I seem to recall that Hazel helped out with previous translations of the Base Handbook, but I don't know if she is still available and/or willing to work on this revised edition. There are possibly others who I have overlooked, but it would be really good if we could get enough translators to a complete and publish an English edition within a reasonable period of time. Again many thanks for your excellent work on the Base Handbook.
