We are all volunteers here. I've been on this list every day since its 
begining saying anytime what was our vision and our needs. You even 
wrote me privately and I answered you.
Whether you read my mails or not, whether you understand it or not is 
your issue, not ours.

Please, make a search on *all* mailing list of this project with my name 
and you will see that I'm here any time something needs to be explained 
or clarified or somebody needs help.

Do I have to claim any time that I'm in the SC or that I'm a founding 
member no, because coming to this project, you know who we are, and how 
it is organized. When you enter to a home, you know who lives there, 
this is the same, exactly here.

So now - we have work to do - just now on the EN site - are you there to 
help or not?

Kind regards
Sophie
