hi VIT!

First, congratulations for the work you've done. It's more a complete
spring-cleaning than simply a CSS refresh.


You might know the French community is pretty active around Ruby, and
our association, Ruby France (http://www.rubyfr.org and
http://www.rubyfr.net), tries to both translate and produce content
(tutorials, poignant guide, ri, rhg, ...).

You also must know French people, well, suck at speaking and reading
English (not to mention 日本語 ;).

That's why I hereby make the proposal of ruby-lang being translated in
French and maintained up to date by the core of Ruby France volunteers
:) By "proposal", I mean... "what do you think?" and "how could I start
this?"



Sincerely yours,
jd

We would definitely welcome this. Why don't you organize your group of
French volunteers, pick one person to be the lead and then send us the list.

Then we'll add your group to the VIT-core mailing list, get the site's CMS
setup for a French version, and then authorize the members of your group to
post content.

Great!
Thank you, Curt.

Well, I issued an appeal for volunteer on our mailing list, but I
already can itemize three persons:
- Jean-Denis Vauguet (me, aka jd), lead, jd-YUCGor2yeoodnm+***@public.gmane.org
- Fre'de'ric Logier (aka fredix, chair of Ruby France), fredix-***@public.gmane.org
- Laurent Sansonetti (aka lrz), laurent.sansonetti-***@public.gmane.org
