I'm  actually quite absent for professional reasons  i will not disclose
here.The translation came to a halt but will pursue it once the wiki-form is definitely adopted
Gnome.org looks very neat.

The name for the Alpha release chosen is a very good choice.

May we communicate the release in Indymedia,Infoshop,crimethinc.org,& other organisations that fight for ecology
human rights ect,indegenous people rights movements?

all the best regards to all of you
