>
> Dear colleague:
>
> I'm writing to let you know about two important innovations that we have
>just introduced on the SciDev.Net website .
>
> The first is a special section containing news and opinion articles, as
>well as a discussion forum, on the topic of 'Science & Sustainability'. This
>section is intended to provide information about, and stimulate debate on,
>the way that science and technology are being addressed during preparations
>for the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg later this
>year. It can be accessed at: <http://www.scidev.net/sustain>
>
> The second innovation is the introduction of translations into French,
> Spanish and Chinese of brief summaries of all the items that have been
> posted on SciDev.Net in the previous week. We hope these translations,which
> will be accessed directly from the homepage (<http://www.scidev.net> )
> and are based on the e-mail alert sent out every
> week to registrants who have requested it, will make the site easier to use
> for non-English speakers.
>
> I'd be very grateful if you could bring these new features to the attention
> of any of your colleagues who might be interested, pointing out that those
> who would like to receive the alert by e-mail (in English only at present)
> can do so by registering with us at
> <http://www.scidev.net/whyregister.html> .
>
> I should add that we are particularly keen to encourage contributions to
> the discussion forum on the 'Science & Sustainability' site
> (<http://www.scidevforum.net> ). We believe that this
> provides a unique opportunity for individuals not directly involved with the
> WSSD preparations to express their views in a way that, we anticipate, will
> be noticed by those who are.
>
> Best wishes,
>
> David Dickson
> Director, SciDev.Net
