Re-reading your e-mails I understand where is the failure ! and I am sorry. Actually only two e-mails were sent from you to me. The other one were sent to another person ( to "Nickolay V. Shmyrev" with a PGP key and to ??? for the previous ones ; I unfortunatly delete them ; they didn't have a Key but only an attached text file with web adress about it I wrote you previously). For someone who is out of your processes it's quite unusual to receive a mail for which you are not recipient ; now I know it is right when we are in.

You do realise that you're subscribed to a mailing list, do you? You will receive a lot more mails which are not sent to you directly. You might want to read the wikipedia page about a mailing list if you're not familiar with it:

I am learning very slowly, step by step all these hidden traps within your (necessary) procedures. Now I am in touch with a French-speaking man in the doc-team and so it is easier for me to have relevant explanations about working procedures. What is missing is a relevant "paper" or "road map" to guide clearly the new arriving people from subscribing until into working procedure to facilitate the beginner.

Okey - there is the project page, which describes it very shortly how to contribute. And we have the WIKI page which should describe how to start much more verbose:

http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/GimpDocs

It'll be great, if you could check our wiki, the docs we collected to start contributing and improve it with your knowledge. I guess there are still missing gaps which don't help people to drop by. If you're not familiar with the WIKI syntax, write a small tutorial down on a text file and sent it to the mailing list.

I proposed my contribution because it is my way to support freeware concept in area where I think I can be useful. Today I am still interested in contributing to french doc for gimp and so I stay in list... but... all patience is limited. Thank you for your attention and if it is necessary I will remember your adress for further needs.

Great. I think you're already in touch with Julien about any further procedures?

Greetings,
