Can we figure out how to do the English one first?
We are still in very basic
development and /are not/ in a position to set-up
franchises yet. I don't
have the ability to do as you ask anyway and the
developers are way
overloaded with simply keeping everything from
crashing down as it is.
Otherwise visit textbook-l and help us get organized
so that we can start to
think about how to internationalize.

Erik answers are fine by me.
Your is not. I am on textbook-l list. I read it from
the very second mail to it. In short you explain that
because it is in its very beginning development and
because we are not able yet to set up franchises, it
would not make sense to include non-english books yet.
Allow me to disagree with that opinion. I saw clearly
from your answers to my first mails on the topic, that
the market of textbook is in *no* way the same in
France and in the USA, and I think the direction you
decided to apply do not fit our needs. This might not
be very important, as long as we respect some basic
rules as underlined by Jimbo. However, if we start
going toward "uniformity", setting all new projects
based upon english choices, and ask other projects to
fit in the resulting frame later on is not likely to
be very appealing :-)
