[Isis-users] ABCD - RDA WORKSHOP IN THE EAST AFRICAN REGION

[spinaker]

Congratulations Solomon

We think that an English translation of the Wiki is very important, so 
if you coordinate with Guilda (user/password) to do the translation, I 
could cooperate with the revision of the pages

Regards
Ernesto
