Hi everybody,

First of all, thanks for all your work. It's great to have our message 
made accessible to more people through your efforts.

We love the idea of having all the articles linked to in the Supporter 
actually translated into Spanish. As Nico said, we haven't tried to do 
it yet because we often only barely manage to get the Supporter itself 
translated within a reasonable time. I think that Nico has the right 
idea about switching to a new system like CVS and then making sure 
everything works well for a month or two, then trying to translate all 
the articles.

If we did translate them, I believe they'd go up at the Spanish version 
of FSF.org, which can be accessed at 
https://www.fsf.org/?set_language=es . "Spanish version" just means that 
it gives the Spanish version of content *where available*, so it's 
almost completely in English because we don't have much stuff on there 
translated... yet.

Currently, the English Supporter goes out on the last working day of the 
month, and it's rarely late. The Spanish one usually follows within 
three or four days. I think that if we were to try to translate the 
articles as well, it might be good to formally set the deadline for the 
Spanish version of the Supporter a few days after the English one, so 
that there is time to translate articles that were added only a few days 
before the English one went out. We'd have to run this by our executive 
director.

Thanks again for your contributions and feedback.
