oops! you're right, I'll fix it and update the editor (Moran, that's you).
thanx for notifying us!

I hope to publish those in the TarGNUm page (http://targnum.gnu.org.il),
but currently they are sent every two weeks to the TarGNUm members 
together with the semi-monthly status report.
I think the last report (the 20'th report) was also sent to you. if you 
didn't get it, I can resend it to you.

here's the relevent part:

(usually 7 documents, only six given here , since one document was 
translated since then)

It is advisable that as a starter you'll choose a short document, it 
will help you get it done quickly, and it will help us decide what kind 
of documents your translation style fits most.

great.

just one comment:
As you saw in the TarGNUm page, TarGNUm uses Carmel 
(http://linbrew.sourceforge.net/carmel/index.php) as it's word-list.
So for your TarGNUm related translations we prefer you to use TarGNUm as 
the standard for word-translation, even in cases you don't agree with 
the possibilities given there (in which case you can join Carmel and 
it's discussion list, and change these translation in Carmel. Then we 
will be happy to correct the TarGNUm translations according to the new 
standard.)
You also choose not to use the possibilities given in Carmel, but in 
most cases, the editor of your document will fix them to those in Carmel 
as part of the edition (standartizing the document is part of the 
editor's job).

This comment is Given here since we've had some loud discussions in the 
team lately about the issue, which took place after one of us refused to 
use Carmel as a standard, and refused for editors to change his 
documents to align to that standard, since he felt it restricts his 
freedom. This makes it quite hard for TarGNUm to use his documents in 
the translated site.
I just wanted to make sure you are aware of those issues.
In case you have any question or objection let me know.
Please make sure you agree with the TarGNUm standards before 
translating, so we won't have a case of translations we can't publish 
due to translator's objection.

and thanx for helping!
