[FM Discuss] thinking about moving on

[Elisa Godoy de Castro Guerra]

hello,

What a surprise this mail.

I understand all your reason and yes it a good subject on our next and fisrt
meeting.

On the LGM i meet a girl from the vietnam represeting Floss Asia. She want
some manual on vietnamese. And I think it is a good idea to translate the FM
into vietnamen to support after all new manual (translation certainely in
the beguinning).

How Floss Manual can exist without Adam, how we offer this plateform for
next new manager of a localisation...etc

The questions are now open.

Elisa
