Not doing so would be simply irresponsible. > Why not to propose an official presentation of the project in different languages, that people could publish for instance in the newsletter of their Company, golf club, school, association or other (with a link to the official web version). Of course such an article would not appear as a marketting message but a pure information describing to people in an accessible language to all, the philsophy of the Apache foundation, what is the AOO project, what it can bring them in their daily activities. I think that could be an interesting way to take the control of the communication around the project and spread the word to the basis of the users. Moreover, these publishing areas are free of charge, and their redactors are often happy to find articles to publish. Only an idea. A+ -- gw
