Ooh, I know quite a few free-software documentation groups who'd love  
to meet you!

One of the great things about the online community, is that I really  
think there is a much higher proportion of multilingual people, and  
especially of people who value being multilingual.

I still remember a developer on a translation list, apologizing  
because he couldn't read bug reports in users' own languages. "I'm  
very sorry, " he said seriously, and with obvious embarrasment, "I  
only speak about 10 languages."
