This is to let you know that we are making slow but hopefully useful
progress in getting the main web site for The Commons Sustainability
Agenda (at http://ecoplan.org <http://ecoplan.org/> ) back into activity
and usefully adapted to today's working tools. Two recent developments:

1. If you go to the site you will see that we have added a major
section which provides one click inventories of the latest
sustainability news items to appear in the World Wide Web. You have
them not only in English, but also with coverage of the issues in
French, German, Italian and Spanish. (In the latter cases there is also
one click access to 'quick-translate' versions into 'English'.)

2. We also have built in the Systran translate engine into the site
as a whole. The result is a bit tricky, but if you use it carefully you
can access the site context in eight different languages. All this is
carefully explained on the site.

In general this portion of the work being done under The Commons -- this
being the front door, if you will - continues to lag the most advanced
programs, and in particular what you will find there under the New
Mobility Agenda (http://newmobility.org) and the World Carshare
Consortium (http://worldcarshare.com ), but we are hopeful that this
important front end of the site will be brought up to scratch in the
weeks ahead.

Have any ideas or leads for us so that all this can be more useful to
you and others? Please don't hesitate to get in touch and let us
benefit from your views and information.

With all good wishes,

Eric Britton
