RE: One question for the translation of Contacting orgs into French [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Hi Sylvie and Shawn,

1. Tatzi vs. Dragon - as I recall, the reason was in order to use a free or open source product rather than a commercial product (and also for NVDA vs. JAWS)

2. NVDA version - happy to update it to a recent version number - I suspect 0.6 was current at the time of authoring. However, we should update in the original too - Shawn?

3. Windows versions - I still use Win XP on one machine (and Windows 7 on another). I picked up some UK stats from Sandi Wassmer recently: UK VI User Statistics - 48% Windows XP; 23% IE6

Great to see the translation underway.

Cheers, Andrew

  I still use Vista. <smile> I think it's OK to list older tools.  Not everyone upgrades.

I still suggest translating the document as is. We can consider updating the English doc if warranted.

Andrew - your thoughts on making minor updates to the tools in the examples?

We have now version 2011.3 do you think I should keep the old version number which is not up to date or update it to the newest NVDA version? Same question is for windows version which is Vista here although less and less people use vista but Seven now.
