[UCIMC-Tech] web site translation?

[Jason Keist]

Hey everyone,
I just contacted Martina about attending Tues. Tech meeting, and she said
that she would attempt to come. Also, to clarify, she said that she would
NOT be able to provide translation for the website (very hard work). She may
be able to provide us with some links to people who may want to do that.
Sorry. I know this sets us back a little. We miscommunicated.

   Maybe, for now, we can start slow: descriptions of working groups and the
general mission of the IMC so to get people interested who formerly were
unaware of us?? Also, I know Ricardo Diaz discussed developing an insert for
the Public i in Spanish, too. We'll see. Talk to ya'll soon.
