I got an email off Diarmaid Mac Mathuna (who was contacted by Michael
Conry) related to the recent mails I sent to the list regarding the
Mandrake translation work.
Diarmaid wants to interview me as Gaeilge for Raidio na Life 106.4fm
tomorrow night between 8pm and 9pm, I mailed him last night so hopefully
the interview will still go ahead if they have nothing else organised
for the show. It'll air another week if they're busy tomorrow night.

I need to clarify a few points:
Who else is helping translate the Mandrake documentation besides myself
and Proinnsias?
Gnome has a "Gaelic" option which appears to be Scots Gaelic. Anyone
know anything about it, people involved?
Did Microsoft refuse to produce an Irish language version of Windows 9x,
despite being offered a grant by the Irish government?
Is there an Irish language interface to the Apple Mac? Someone told me a
company in Dublin produced one, but I don't know how extensive it was or
what it covered (OS, or just some applications)
General internationalization work in Linux. How much work is there being
done to accomodate local languages?

Donncha.
