Hi Yubin Top post! I think this is perfect to start. Let’s proceed with this.
(1) I will add this to the OpenChain website. After Boyuan or another native speaker confirms, I will change it from “unofficial” to “official” translation for OpenChain (2) Please let me know where and how I should send the 100 USD marketing budget we had for this item :) Regards Shane > On Jul 28, 2017, at 12:39 , Yubin Ruan <ablacktsh...@gmail.com> wrote: > >>> On Jul 27, 2017, at 22:03 , Yubin Ruan <ablacktsh...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> 1. the word "on-boarding".
