was more an adaptation than a translation which is not my specialty skill.”
Wonderful! I am always delighted when somebody translates “The User’s
Guide” – especially now that we are in a glorious new 3<sup>rd</sup>
Edition! But!! Writing from your own experience is where it is really “at.”
And Diane – you have massive amounts of experience. So my friends –
Go for it! I will be pleased to help in any way I can – but do understand
that my “specialty skill” does not include the French Language. </span></font><font

had been planning for a while to work on a French user’s guide. I wanted
to do more writing on principles, concepts and examples to complement the tools
I developed over the years for OST training so that such a guide would be well
anchored in the spirit of OS, the essential part, like the original Harrison
version. This project was more an adaptation than a translation which is not my
specialty skill. In the OST training I offer, this conceptual part was covered
with the experience of an actual OS event, the dialogue following it and with
existing articles in French, some of which are on my web site and the
openspaceworld.org site. </span></font><font size=2 color="#1f497d"><span

Matte, a Montreal (now temporarily New York) OST colleague had expressed to me
interest in working on such a book but she and I had ongoing timing issues on
our respective agendas that hampered getting that project started. This
morning, as I was returning from my holidays and just before she left for her
holidays, Esther contacted me about a joint client and we spoke briefly about
the recent OS List exchange about a French guide. We both agreed that this
invitation at a specific time and place for a collective pooling of materials
is what is needed to get the project going and certainly, it will bring great
richness to the outcome.</span></font></p>
