[FM Discuss] working method on "how to make ... manual" to spanish

[anacim]

 I really like your book and appreciate your kindness in guiding my work :)

We don t intend to print it at the moment.

The version I am using is this
http://booki.flossmanuals.net/make-your-own-sugar-activities//edit
When I get to your bio I will send you the text file for you to check if it
is the right one.

I will use parts actual spanish translation and add them to credits of this
new version.

In about the authors, I would like to add some few words mentioning
ceibaljam.org and adding the group logotype (a pet called Terrón)

As well, I will add some links to spanish resources ( for python, pygame,
and so ) as  I expect the boys at ceibaljam can help me to choose.

I expect to be publishing around April 15th. When so I will ask for your
help again to check on the whole publication.

Saludos y muchas gracias!!



The Spanish version of MYOSA is based on a slightly older version of
