words of encouragement on this project of an adapted OST user guide in French,
your availability in person and on this OS List when some aspects need more understanding
and discussion and the spirit in which you show up, are all great contributions
to this project. You may not have a specialty skill with the French language but
participants in the group of interested people will act as checks and balances to
each other on the aspect of language and the formulation of concepts. This is a
great way to build community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

– you said, “This project 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><span

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><span

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

project going and certainly, it will bring great richness to the outcome.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
