The french version has been on the meta main page for at least 2 or 3 weeks Yannf. WHO are you thinking of sending it to ? I sent quite a bit about them to some journalists already. Just alone. several weeks after publication, I am not sure it is a good idea. For now, noone is on the pdf as far as I know.

Yann, Thank you for your sudden interest in Quarto distribution. If your words were slightly less aggressive, they might find a more receptive audience. The versions of WQ #2 on the Wikimedia Foundation site are "available" in that they are considered complete enough to announce and release. The untranslated interview is no reason not to distribute the French newsletter. The decision to use Aphaia's "release messages" as part of the current HTML email was made two days ago. If you want to improve distribution (as we all do), please update [[m:WQ/Distribution]] and help us better organize our lists of recipients and the distribution process in the future.

Though it's too late for WQ2, we could think about it for WQ3. What say you all? Cormac

Perhaps a silly question ...
