“Praktica ayant été
invité à débattre sur le futur du Web indépendant,
nous avons pensé que nous pourrions retranscrire une version française
pour faciliter l'approche aux francophones non anglophones.
Nous avons choisi, pour le moment, seulement quelques intervenants.
Nous pourrions être amenés à compléter ce
dossier par d'autres traductions à venir.
Merci à Carole Guevin, Jeffrey
Zeldman, Christopher Robbins, Marko
Radakovic, Allan Herrel et Kitty
Mead pour leur aimable autorisation de publier leurs essais en
français.”
