I can understand the main points but I had to figure out some parts from context. I had a good French class many years ago and could read French pretty well at that time, and could converse ok if the other person was a little bit patient. I've forgotten most of it since then, but I expect (or hope) that it would come back. Another issue: I have most of the qualifications in the pdf (I've been involved with free software for a long time and am a former FSF staff member, I'm knowledgeable about web server implementation and web applications, and I'm pretty good with Python), but I've never used Zope or Plone. I do have a strong interest in collaborative web site implementation but have been wanting to code something with higher performance than what I see the traditional LAMP architecture as capable of. > > I'm sure you will get lots of good French-speaking candidates though. > Dont be too sure of that ;-) ... and dont hesitate to apply if you are > interested. If you still think this, I'd be interested in chatting a little further. Does the email address in the pdf go to you? If not, should I write you directly? Can I call on the phone (you can leave me a number at http://paulrubin.com)? Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
