Could someone make an english version so the rest of us would get to read it as well?

Nothing wrong with magazines that are in another language besides English. People that do not speak that language cannot read the mag and might wish it would be in English. But this mag for example is for the French Amiga community. That's their target so that's why it is in French. Simple, rigth? Great job!

Mercy,
Coder

Btw, you spelt "merci" wrong.

I think that it's fair and right that they can publish the articles/interviews in French - it's just a bit harsh to tease us all with snippets (in English) about what's in it... especially when some of them sound really interesting

I am sorry about my first post..did not mean it to be harsh. I promise will not do it again.

Hmm, as far as i am concerned, i would be happy to translate my Obligement articles in english, provided that the editorial staff decides to support english as well. That decision lies in their hands.

But it's an easy statement to make, for i wrote only a couple articles so far
As it had been said here, i don't really see the point in teasing english speaking people with something written in a foreign tongue, appart, indeed, for the sake on showing there is life in other communities.

For that matter, i think it would be a great idea if some kind of a team could be gathered to create a website, which would quote interesting articles from all around the amiga world, translated in several languages if necessary.

Then one could be able not only to see interesting articles from abroad, but also to acquire a certain knowledge of the Amiga World in his whole, and distinguish tendencies.

For there are tendenties, often tied with countries. The most obvious example is the schism in the "amiga-like OSes" field : France an Germany are rather MOS oriented and the United Kingdom is rather seen as "pro-AOS", althrough the reality is of course more subtle.

What about the Spanish amiga community ? I don't know about it. And the scandinavian countries ? Hell, do they use Amiga in New Zealand ?
I'd be eager to read about that.

Here in Belgium there is barely a small group of Netherlands speaking guys involved in Amiga meetings, but they are quite active and deserve to be mentionned.

Yep, i would definitly like to hear about all those guys on some website, see the pictures of their gathering and so on.

Are there countries around where an Amiga User Directory is kept up to date, like the one for the french community ? There are 468 people enlisted there. A worldwide version of such a directory would be nice.
It might even be interesting for commercial companies to know how large is actually the Amiga market.

Well...err, i think i slightly slipped off the road in this thread...

/me the kind of guy giving ideas he's not ready to follow himself.

This mag rules. It's free and has good quality, sometimes in depth articles about current and some older Amiga stuff. I think this mag has no equivalent in English! /me runs

great ideas. As someone who's first language is NOT english (or "american", if you will), I certainly have no egotism about it.

I figured their mag was in french when I looked on site. I do think amiga users all over the world should get into the habit of checking each other out. I like having everyone around - posting opinions.

hopefully, if we get to know each other, we'll be less likely to beat each other up.

i'm glad we have the internet - the last place that true democracy exists.

Looks professionally done! It's great work especially considering it's available for free.

I was also impressed with the first two issues of APoV (Amiga Point of View) . I hope to see more from them.

But Obligement has been running bi-monthly *non-stop* since 1997! That's very impressive!

It said in the first line (after the headline):

Issue 48 of the French languaged AmigaOS/MorphOS magazine Obligement is now available.

But I have to admit I know this is a French mag.

I had no idea. Thanks for the tip. Or should I say>> merci.

I could not have said it better. That's my point.
