[Imc-africa] IMC-Mali and French version of handbook

[sphinx]

Hello GeneX! I just wrote to JJ from imc-paris, who had a few questions for
their upcoming film project in imc-paris. I wish to ask if you could help handle
the application of imc-Mali which came up again after JJ informed the imc-africa
list of the film and it's focus on mali.
 
You remember in Feb i sent a mail about imc-mali to the newimc working group.
I know you are busy now with imc-Marseille, and lots of us are hoping that you
take up imc-Haiti too. I think my french is not very good these days which you
can understand from the mail below from Cema(from Mali) that he did not
understand my response to his mail about stating imc-Mali. Thus it will but make
sense for a traditional french peaking person to help out here. Give the other
appications to some other person from Nice( just a joke :-))).
Previous mail to Cema from me is here:
http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/new-imc/2004-February/004886.html
you can notice that the lack of French characters on my machine only made a bad
situation worst.
He has not yet filled the application form at http://newimc.indymedia.org
so you may start there.

Also we need translation with the imc-handbook. We sent some copies to Dakar
which got lost in Dakar but lots of other copies have been distributed
throughout the UK, US and far East. Ana from the US will be going to South
Africa in the coming days with sponsor from IGAP and we'll see into it that she
takes some copies with her. Also I'll be in the UK from the 9th as the Hedonists
Press will be luanching the imc-handbook and there after Me and Doctor Blimfeld
will join schNEWs for a 16 city tour throughout the UK as part of the luanching
program.
I see on the twiki pages that U and Ana have done the translation of the main
network documents into French. i also saw that you already started trying to
translate the formal consensus document from C .T. Butler. C.T Butler have been
busy writing a new book on consensus in the city thus he could not focus on
translating this other work. But we need a native French speaking person to
cordinate the french version of the imc-handbook which other than the main
network documents and C.T. Butlers document also includes :
My acknowledgement, the articles of Dorothy Kid and Dee Lee, as well as the blue
prints, SF proposal and imc-LA documentation. If you can afford to get into this
then i can cordinate it with C.T Butler that we can exchange content with his
website too there after. 

Good, lets meet tomorrow in #indymedia at 18:00CET. I know presently that Libby
and the others cordinating the Croatia Summerchamp will like the topic in
#indymedia to remain Summerchamp, though we discuss more Isreal/Palestina there.
But we shall see if possible we can carry the discussion over to #print.
Bye for now

Doctor Blimfeld told me there is someone right now in Bath handling Spanish
translation.
