[Freecats-Dev] A better name? / project-related communication

[Henri Chorand]

Dave,

I just posted your message on the dev list so that every team member can 
provide more feedback if he/she feels like it.

If you subscribe, you'll be able to post whatever you have in mind, and 
to follow everything that's going on.

If the majority of team members prefers another name, why not. The 
actual name is "présentable", rather self-explanatory (for a translator) 
and furthermore, I like cats :-)

And... domain names free-cats.xxx, freecats.org and freecats.net are 
available. freecats.com was bought by a cyber-speculator who can go and 
cook himself an egg, or worse.

If you join us, I would be very happy if you can help us with a first 
task. Marilyn Courté is presently writing up (in English) a document 
intended for developers who don't know anything about CAT, to help them 
download Trados trial version and translate a small sample file while 
understanding how it all happens, with a few screen captures.

The idea of such a document comes from Simos, the most experienced 
developer among all of us, who believes it can greatly help raise 
interest about the project among free software developers.

Would you be available to proofread it next week?

Kirk McElhearn already kindly accepted to proofread another document 
which requests an article in Brave GNU world, which I feel is also an 
important communication-related task. As all of you know, we need a few 
extra (experienced) coders to speed things up.

I also posted an article in fr.comp.applications.libres French 
newsgroup. Would anybody happen to know what are the best similar 
newsgroups in English?

Any ideas are welcome - apart maybe from shouting like Steve Ballmer in 
a rather well-known conference, some time ago: "Developers, Developers" ;-)


Regards,

Henri
