h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hey Kes, haven't seen ya in a while! Those two forwards I sent from the Embassy mailbox, just wanna know if they were received!?

~8~

Hi! (Trying to remember) ... I got a forward from you about the letter you were sending as the follow up. Was that one of them?

oh dear... no no.

After that, I got a response from both Mark and Peta, and I tried to forward them both to the embassy group (ie to you, ottox, me) and I thought it worked, cuz they appeared in my inbox. I can forward them directly to you if you didn't get them. Or if you still have the password/username, you can just retrieve them from the embassy's altavista box. No rush, I just wanted to know if they were recieved cuz I remember having a bit of a problem sending the things.

~8~

Eek. No - I haven't seen them! If you could copy & send them to me again, please!

Kes, I sent it again. Let me know if you get it!

~8~

Kes,

Do you think any sort of response is required for those replies?

I haven't sent anything, but I figure just an acknowledgement and thanks to Peta would be nice, just so she knows we got it! (of course, if she peruses this forum, she'll know, but either way...

~8~

Yes - sorry I haven't commented on them - I'm having a big dose of RW work at the moment ..... Yes, I think just a short acknowledgement would be good.

Do you have any thoughts on where to proceed from here?

Kes

I understand what you mean. School's just started again about a week ago, and I have been neglecting most of my OL projects/obligations. At any rate, I will send a (belated) acknowledgment to Peta. As for where to proceed, it's difficult to say, especially seeing as how many people have just suddenly got a lot less available (due of course to september and to the problems in the US). I am thinking that maybe we should proceed with the Guide; that is, rebuild the embassy one language at a time. If we as regular Users (as opposed to Editors who are obligated) are able to encourage people to use the new German-language program, and hopefully help people to do that, maybe we can be of help. Meantime, we can also try and help other-lingual Users... at least let them know that if this first leg of H2G2's plan goes well, we could see other languages coming out in the future.

In any case, I shall have to have a look around to see if anything's changed during my 2-or-so-week absence. Let me know what you think.

~8~

Yes. Will do. I have just returned from a 2.5 week absence (in the RW), so I have some backlog to catch up on! I think your "one language at a time" approach is the best way to fit in with the Editors ... shame they can't move more quickly, but that's life, I suppose. See you around!
