[squeakland] New Etoys QuickGuides by Kathleen Harness

[Carlos Rabassa]

Kathleen,

I don´t want to interfere with what Sdenka is doing or will do,  there is more than enough work for everyone who wants to help.

If there are any specific translations that are needed and Sdenka is not doing,  will be glad to try to help.

I have not studied Rita´s instructions to translators that you just sent but,  they seem to be something very similar to what I already used when translating the Etoys pages,  I guess I could do it again.

Carlos

None of the 30 new guides have been translated into any language. I don't know yet which guides will be selected for the new version of Etoys.
