11.02.2006 It looks like the English translation of parts of the 1600i homepage gets filled with information ;-) It took a longer time for me decide what to do. But finaly i thougth the best will be to show most themes in both languages. So everyone could see (and we have the situation, that now also English docs are available without German source, thank you Phil) what is done and what not. So i hope everyone is happy with this layout, and it would be nice to get some comments.
I also decide to start a new English news-page. It would be a lot of work to translate the whole german news-page, and at least it would bring no more information to you. So if someone is interested in the history of 1600i.de, he could look at the german page to the german news.
