This list is very Young. You post the First mail in this list. Then i think all people who want help, can write an himself/herself summary :-) I begin : Elisa, i speak french, spanish, portuguese (and sign of languages but...no use for Inkscape). I leave in France (we go to bed very earlier than Alexandre or other inkscape team in irc, that's why the list is good way to organize us, and use sometimes irc). I use Inkscape since Sodipodi life. Since this year i join the team Inkscape to write in french and helping Cedric in this task. I am absolutely not a coder. I read Inkscape-devel and the release note, i use to get the Inkscape-svn (when the build is ok) to test the new features. I never ask directly the coder (because my english is too bad). But the inkscape-devel and the chat on irc are very good source of informations. For me is enough. And you Joshua what you want to do ? Write ? Or make translation ? In french/english, english/french ? I can make some correction into your french if you write in english. I don't know if you (Alexandre and JF) know Scribus, but they have into their core developer a guy who don't code. He manage and organize the devel team and the doc team. Maybe Alexandre will begin this kind of task in Inkscape ? Elisa
