For your information, I just posted the below message on the Lobo
Solitario Espanol message board, in a thread where they are discussion
whether to join Project Aon or not when publishing the Spanish LW
books. With the help of google's translation tool I could see that
some people has a bit strange ideas, I think, of what it would mean to
put the Spanish editions on the PA website.


Wow, you're dedicated, Thomas! ;-)

I can quite clearly understand their concerns about someone else claiming credit for their hard work; I was vehemently against co-joining with magnamund.org way back because it meant an unacceptable loss of control. I think the way the website has panned out--and will continue to do so thanks to the wiki--has shown that autonomy is good. (What is Spanish for 'autonomous', anyway?)

Because of the parallel nature of PA and LS, it would be in the best interests of both to share a comon home (i.e. www.projectaon.org), but they definitely need to be able to manage their own affairs--such as their web layout, and having access to the server to upload files whenever it's necessary. And that's exactly what's being offered--space on the same server, a common License, and a shared URL. Beyond the License, we would have little or no direct input into the LS project, though I'm sure we could and would offer suggestions where appropriate, perhaps sharing code for the contact portal and other minor bits.

The reservations some evidently have are entirely understandable; however, in this case, they are groundless, fortunately. :-)
