I'm missing something? I thought we agreed to not use the Java versions
since they weren't usable by the general audience. Or are these just for
your practice not for the LIT site.

In a way science pretty well has. If I remember proberly, virtually all
major scientific pubs are translated and reviewed in english.

Ben, do NOT translate my sections of LIT. I have enough trouble with
people misenterpreting what I say. I don't want the hassel of people
misinterpreting what others have enterpreted me to say. This would be
especially frustrating since comments would come to me in languages I
couldn't understabd or respond to.
