This would be of great use and I'd welcome it a lot.


Hmmmm, up to now I have always been profiting from the advice & help in
lists like these.  Sometimes I'm haunted by the wish to give something
back, but it's difficult to find a knowledge that I can possibly
contribute.  So -

In this case, if there are plans to have a german translation of that
manual perhaps I can assist or try to write a part of it --- with some
supervising, though. Programming is not my strength, but I studied
german philology once (a looong time ago, I changed profession since
then).  Well I don't want to intrude, there will be enough people much
more apt for such a task than me.

Best,

erich.
