Well, content in English is preferable, but if people can't do that, they can write it in their native language. With some exceptions, I think that people who are completely unable to write in English aren't the rule and there's a good chance that someone will come along who can translate it back into English (if such a person does not exist already). In short: yeah, I think writing content is fine however it's done. > Probably there will be people who have something useful to be put on the > wiki, but don't think their English is good enough to do it.

I don't know how to do this either, but I'll poke Thierry just in case he's missed this. -- off the chain like a rebellious guanine nucleotide -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
