Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I think we run this by Melanchthon, he is clearly a good writer and the petition began with him.

Starting from the French and back into English would be most efficient imho.

Sounds good to me: writing in English opens the project to more people, but I have no objections. I will write both at the same time, if anyone wants to jump in.

I'll email Melanchthon then.

Great media contact, by the way!

I said French just because that's Melanchthon's native language, the petition itself was drafted in French and the media being written so is French too, so getting the copy out would be quicker that way. (That might actually be presumptuous of me as he writes excellently in english obviously too.)

We've of course many people here who can translate either way, and splitting up the load, do so very quickly either way so I guess whatever works best is best...
