[Foundation-l] Back to basics

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
If these are the basics, we have to make it work. When we have money we 
can pay translators to translate into languages where we do not have 
content yet. The notion that we only need the money to have our current 
operational needs serviced does therefore not suffice. If anything, if 
the dream is to have all knowledge in all languages, we need much more 
money.
Thanks,
     GerardM
