It's planned to publish the webpages in February 2002. And they think about publishing it as a book after that.

It's planned to publish the webpages in February 2002. Wow, that nearly sounds too good to be true! It's a bit surprising that the people on the translators' list haven't yet been told about O'Reilly's future plans though these obviously exist. > And they think about publishing it as a book after that. Even better! Could you please give us more details about what they exactly wrote (e.g. forward us their e-mail)? I am sure I am not the only one here who is curious...

Well, I asked the people from the german O'Reilley and said a lot of nice words about the O'Reilley company. :-) And so a woman from the german O'reilley gave me the mailaddress of the right person to talk about it. :-) > > > And they think about publishing it as a book after that. > > Even better!

But they told in their last answer that there is a webpage in frenche, where we should look at. I mail you this at the end of the weekend (sunday or so), becuase I#M some days in holiday. I first ask the O'Reilley-person, if forwarding is ok. Maybe they don't want it. If it's ok for them I forward it; if not, I grep the informations and send it here into the list. But it's not much more than I wrote until now. Don't be too unpatient... I'm tired and have a long yourney tomorrow. I think I can give you more informations on sunday night.

More than fifty people have already put and are continuing to put a lot of work into the English translation of this book. We certainly have a need and a right to know their intentions. If they don't want to broadcast them to the whole world, they can email the translators' mailing list, translators@pauillac.inria.fr. Or they can personally email the translation project's O'Reilly liaison, Benjamin Pierce, bcpierce@saul.cis.upenn.edu. Or they can email me, datta@math.berkeley.edu; I'm currently coordinating the project. I don't know how they can publish the English webpages in February without communicating with us. Unless they have a separate translation going, which would be a major bummer. We have certainly kept them abreast of our efforts. > Don't be too unpatient...

It's not directed at you, we're really grateful to you for passing on this information. I'm just a little peeved at O'Reilly for keeping us in the dark.

We > certainly have a need and a right to know their intentions. Yes, I think so. The O'Reilly-man told me, that the february-date is his own estimation of a "ready-to-publish-in-the-web"-date and that he don't want to make to much pressure on the translating people. And because his answer was directed to me - not a translator - this would not cause pressure to me. But if the translators were motivated by such a date, that's good. I have no problem with publishing before X-mas. If that is possible... ;-) > If > they don't want to broadcast them to the whole world, they can > email the translators' mailing list, [...] > I don't know how they can publish the English webpages in February > without communicating with us.

Ok, it was a personnel estimation, directed to an interested person. If that doesn't fit the actual translation-speed, then please let me/us know it. Because I'm not firm with french language I have to wait with *really* programming in OCaml, until the translation is available. I now can only stumble around with Ocaml... > > > Don't be too unpatient...

I gave the O#Reilly-publisher a hint to the ocaml-homepage and the mailing-list. Maybe he is interested in reading and writing here... :-) Ciao, Oliver ------------------- Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
