Hi there,

James has once invited me to this mailing list and recommended me to
join the CVS for the translation of the manual in a few languages I
speak.

Since I'm here and up for it, would you guys mind to help me out and
give me some better idea on what the PHP-EVANGELISM is all about.


Sincerely,

Maxim Maletsky
