I think the best course of action is to wait until everybody who
wants to has had a go - if nobody speaks up within two or three days
after a call, it's probably the last call. The person who has it then
sends it to me, and I translate whatever I've got into Valdyan and
post it. This will be the signal for everybody to put theirs in the
showcase, I think.

I don't want to see any of the intermediate versions, of course. Come
to think of it, it's probably important to send only your translation
to the next person, not its source.
