Juan,
Thank you for your message. I took the liberty of forwarding it to the wikipedia-l mailing list.
We're glad that the EL is generally friendly in feeling toward Wikipedia. There are a few comments over there that seem to be based on bad feelings toward us; I'm happy that they don't reflect the feelings of the majority of your contributors.
We have also been discussing cooperation between our projects, and the possible reunification. I'm not a spokesman for all of Wikipedia, but the general agreement here seems to be working toward bringing the two projects closer together while maintaining our own Spanish articles at http://es.wikipedia.com (soon to be changed to .org).
I think you'll like the Phase III software, and I hope you can get it up and running. You might be interested in wikitech-l, the software developers' mailing list.
Regards, Stephen Gilbert

Hello everybody, greetings from "Enciclopedia Libre".
First of all I want to clarify that general sense from people in EL is about friendship and goodwill towards Wikipedia project, though some of us disagree about some questions concerned to Wikipedia we are talking about in the past.
We were talking and voting about the reunification as we made at
http://enciclopedia.us.es/wiki.phtml?title=Enciclopedia:Retorno_a_Wikipe
dia and finally we have decided to stay in the same server here at Sevilla and under the name of "Enciclopedia Libre", nevertheless we do not discard the possibility on returning Wikipedia in the future (whenever people in Wikipedia agree) and our wish is about collaboration, talking and good relationships.
I think the time talk us about our community finally approaching themselves, depending on mutual desires and the way both projects shall take.
About Phase III Program I am trying to test in over an old PC but I am fighting against Linux and time.
I read this mail list each day and wish to collaborate in embassy projects between Wikipedia and EL, you can write to me in English or Spanish at juanan@us.es.
Best regards,

Hola a todos, saludos desde la Enciclopedia Libre.
Ante todo me gustar�a aclarar que el sentir general de la gente que trabaja en EL es de amistad y buena voluntad hacia el proyecto de Wikipedia en donde la mayor�a comenzamos, aunque algunos discrepemos con algunas cuestiones relativas a Wikipedia que ya han sido comentadas en otras ocasiones.
Hemos estado discutiendo y votando sobre la posibilidad de volver a Wikipedia tal como se plante� en
http://enciclopedia.us.es/wiki.phtml?title=Enciclopedia:Retorno_a_Wikipe
dia y finalmente nos hemos decidido a seguir aqu� de momento tal como estamos, sin descartar la idea de volver alg�n d�a a Wikipedia e intentando estrechar lazos en la medida de lo posible.
Creo que el tiempo dir� si finalmente nos acercamos o alejamos de Wikipedia, esto depender� del inter�s que pongamos las dos partes y del rumbo que tomen ambos proyectos.
En cuanto a la fase III del software estoy intentando hacer unas pruebas en un PC un poquillo viejo y a�n tengo alg�n problemilla con la instalaci�n del Linux.
Sigo normalmente las discusiones en esta lista y me gustar�a participar en el proyecto de embajadas que se est� poniendo en marcha, pod�is escribirme en ingl�s o en espa�ol a la direcci�n juanan@us.es.
Saludos a todos,
