Could the textbook site be made international then please ?
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 :-)
