+<PRE>Le 10/02/2011 03:17, Hoyt Duff a &#233;crit
+&gt;<i> I ran that page through Google Translations and it looks quite good.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> The initial paragraph translates as:
+</I>&gt;<i> Mandriva Linux is a free operating system. It can be freely modified
+</I>&gt;<i> and improved by its users and members of the community of this system.
+</I>&gt;<i> The spirit of this system is summarized in a manifesto.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> To me, this does not fully explain the use of &quot;free&quot; in the context of
+</I>&gt;<i> Mandriva/Magia. This topic (free as in beer/free as in freedom) is
+</I>&gt;<i> always one of much debate in any FOSS community. I propose:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Mandriva Linux is an operating system based primarily on Open Source
+</I>&gt;<i> code and licensed in a way to provide users and developers with
+</I>&gt;<i> greater freedom than proprietary, restricted code. It can be modified
+</I>&gt;<i> and improved by its users and members of the community of this system.
+</I>&gt;<i> The spirit of this system is summarized in a manifesto.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Nice job otherwise, although it could be more concise since it's
+</I>&gt;<i> supposed to be an introductory page. It will take me a while to digest
+</I>&gt;<i> it fully.
+</I>
+This page is written in French, which is a slightly more precise
+language than French.
+
+So, indeed the roles and paragraphs will have to be more precise in
+English (precise free as in free speech, the word &quot;libre&quot; actually seems
+to be used in this sense in some cases). The word free in English is
+much less evident than it's French equivalents.
+
+The work on the Mandriva Wiki is rather incomplete. But the first step
+I'd like to see when the definitive Mageia Wiki will be in place would
+be to import the Mandriva One to continue the work that has been done
+since 2007, programming a temporrary bot to rename all references to
+Mandriva into Mageia, and continue the work on such articles that are
+unachieved. The improvements are a set of wholes articles to add and
+polishing/rewriting of the existing paragraphs. It is the case for this
+article, and it is indeed important for potential and current
+contributors to find their way with more ease I believe.
