I just noted that wiki frontpage has been today modified in a such disgusting way... that I've no word to say, now...
So I cleaned all...
Was that stuff "advertising"?

Dear All,
The on-line journal Vivant has just posted an French translation of the
PLoS article about TDI. You can find it at
http://www.vivantinfo.com/numero8/maladies_tropicales.html
Hopefully, this marks the beginning of a truly international collaboration!

Dear All,
Some of you have asked for a TDI Wiki. The journal NATURE has now set up
a site for us. You can find it at
http://nurture.nature.com/wikis/tdi/FrontPage. Registration (Click on the
"User Preferences" button) is optional, but will let people know
who-made-which-comment, etc.
Like any scientific venture, the success of TDI depends on the quality of
ideas. So please, participate. TDI is a new type of collaboration that
needs new thinking. What diseases should we study? Where can on-line
biologists make the biggest contributions? What kinds of projects can we
organize? And above all, what questions have I overlooked?
The beauty of open source is that it goes where people want it to. You
are the people.
See you on-line.
Andrej

I agree, and maybe not only for that's so simple!

We should contact the webmaster... It would be fine to make pages in different languages available through content negotiation; however, if someone ask me to it, I'll translate the entire site in italian...
I'm creating an Italian blog too... Unfortunately, it's empty now... But I have some ideas...

Good. We can use irc.gimp.org... and put it on the website...

I go watch it ;-)
Hi everyone,
I'm an Italian degree student, and the TDI seems to me to be very interesting, so I subscribed to this mailing list... Did someone else made the same? ;)
