Multilingual irt.org
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

irt.org is well on its way to world domination :)  We have made a
start in translating the site into Portuguese (thanks to Rafael
Coletti), and have plans for making versions available in Danish,
Dutch, French and Spanish.

The first draft of the Portuguese front page is available:
@ http://www.irt.org/index-pt.htm

If you are interested in making irt.org available in your mother
tongue, be it Afghan or Zimbabwean, we at irt.org would be interested
in hearing from you - mailto:multilingual@irt.org

In exchange for translating portions of the site, you will be able to
host a mirror of the site in your chosen language.

Contributing to irt.org
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you can see from the long list of additions to the site this month,
there are many people behind irt.org writing articles and maintaining
FAQs.  If you have skills in any Internet Related Technology and
wish to put some of that knowlege available on the net for others to
read and learn from then we would like to hear from you.

Unfortunately we can't as yet pay for contributions, but if you would
like to contribute to the rapidly expanding portfolio of articles on
irt.org then contact - mailto:author@irt.org.



Downloading irt.org
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
@ http://www.irt.org/download/

To make irt.org not only cross-browser, but also cross-platform, we
can now offer various download formats at our download page.

Josh Sahrmann and Ed Stodghill have kindly created download formats
for the Macintosh platform (both .sea and .sit format), and for the
Unix platform (.tar format).  We hope to be able to offer tar.gz
soon.

Naturally we still offer downloads in .zip and .exe format, but we
think it is important to offer more than this.

If we still don't offer a download format for your platform, and you
would like to help us with this, please let us know, so we can make
irt.org truly cross-platform - mailto:download@irt.org
