Unfortunately, I'm only fluent in English and Spanish. But using Google
Translation, it is surprisingly readable, considering it is a computerized
translation. However, it is also for the same different version that is covered
in depth in the wiki, and does not cover the extra un-named fields in the
configuration dialog.

Perhaps once I have taught myself how it all works I can contribute to it. I've
been told I have a knack for writing howtos.
Also, I have been asked to write an article on pskmail for a newsletter for
RV-ing hams, and perhaps even give a presentation/demonstration at an upcoming
gathering. That is, unless those involved in the project would prefer that it
not have additional publicity and promotion here in North America at this time.
Anyhow, the phase I am in at present is wrapping my own brain around it first
so as to them be able to present it in an understandable fashion to hams with
varying levels of technical and computer skills.

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail
in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And
radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them
there. The only difference is that there is no cat. --Albert Einstein,
describing radio.
