Hi all,

a sidenote:
we are still working on the translation of the German "GRASS Handbuch"
into English language... This covers the "new" GRASS 5 features and
contains examples etc. (250 pages). I still need a few volunteers who
can read German and write English. If the English version is finished,
Spanish and Russian language are scheduled (translators are waiting for
the English version).

If a few volunteers would help to finish the translation, the sooner it
could be published... It is planned to publish fully online as well as
a book (probably by an U.S. publisher).

Please answer personally to me if you are interested to help translating:
