résumé

Fixed! And I credited you in the history :) --Eric M Gearhart 08:24, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

We are somewhat similar: I'm a computer nerd and gun nut who sometimes uses English words, you are a soldier acting as a computer nerd who sometimes uses French words, therefore I had to tackle this "résumé" thing :-)

Looking forward to write here about weapons and computers with your help Nat Makarevitch 09:24, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

Bonjour ;)

Bonjour ! Je vois que je ne suis pas le seul francophone chez citizendium ! Juste une petite curiosité : je crois que vous avez des origines géorgiennes ? Il se trouve que mon épouse est native de Tbilissi... Le monde est parfois petit ! Bien cordialement. Jean Gebarowski 04:08, 24 October 2007 (CDT)

Merci d'avoir fait signe ! Mes origines sont variées et certains de mes ancêtres vécurent en Géorgie, mais je n'en sais pas davantage Nat Makarevitch 12:24, 31 October 2007 (CDT)

Internationalisation

Hi! I’m just letting people who have expressed an interest in CZ International know that there is now a proposal on the table.

Please discuss its feasibility at: CZ:Proposals/Internationalisation sandbox in the Discussion area.

Feel free to help develop the proposal, as well.

We'll also need "drivers".

If you've got no idea what I'm talking about, please refer to: CZ:Proposals/New and CZ:Proposals

Bonjour, Je suis un spécialiste de l'IA, depuis 1982. J'ai deux articles en français, l'un sur l'IA l'autre sur les systèmes experts, qu'il faudrait traduire. Etes-vous partant ? Jean-Philippe de Lespinay 13:23, 18 March 2008 (CDT)

Non, car l'anglais n'est pas ma langue maternelle donc je préfère éviter le 'thème' (la 'version' est déjà parfois difficile) Nat Makarevitch 15:06, 18 March 2008 (CDT)

OK. Et mille excuses pour n'avoir pas posé ma question au bon endroit ! Jean-Philippe de Lespinay 18:07, 18 March 2008 (CDT)

Developers

I read your note (on your user: page) about software which is better integrated into the 'style' of CZ, and I basically agree with you. One hitch: right now, the project doesn't appear to have many 'developer' resources at all! If we did, I think your points would be right on target. Lacking that, though, we struggle along with (slightly tweaked) MediaWiki. J. Noel Chiappa 15:07, 18 March 2008 (CDT)

That's a valid point! I thought about it and concluded that CZ, in order to attract contributors, must offer adequate tools. It implies development (AFAIK MediaWiki extensions will be sufficient), which in turn implies money because some needed thingies are not very pleasant to realize or administer. I exposed all this but (nearly 3 months later) have to read a reply. I'm afraid that this did not convinced anybody here. From my point of view it implies that CZ may therefore not gain an adequate momentum in the foreseeable future. Nat Makarevitch 17:00, 18 March 2008 (CDT)
