Hi Schremmer!

Thank you for your mail. I am glad that you took some time to check out 
WikiToLearn.

Unfortunately the English section is very novel, even more than the project 
itself (which is just a couple of months old, since we started the real works 
in September).

There is just a little English content for now, but much is being produced as 
I write (e.g. the HEP software foundation, or the Plasma Physics book which is 
being imported from the LaTeX sources). If you want to see some test content 
in English you can check out for example this page:

http://en.wikitolearn.org/Electrostatics

... or, maybe with the help of an automated translator, you can take a look at 
the Italian part, where we got help from many students and it is already much 
more complete, such as:

http://it.wikitolearn.org/Fisica_moderna

I took the liberty to check out your website, since the domain of your e-mail 
made me curious. I must say that I really appreciate the work you've been 
doing! I think it's precious to offer a new approach to Mathematics, which 
doesn't scare away students, and your manuals offer a pretty complete view on 
that.

Since I also saw that you are editing most of your work in LaTeX, I'd like to 
pose you an interesting question... what do you think about joining forces? 
Would you like to help us kickstart the English page by contributing with your 
material? We have realized a LaTeX importer which should make the importing 
almost painless. :-)

The only thing we would need is, of course, your permission, and eventually 
the relicensing of the material under CC-BY-SA.

I hope I have been explanatory and replied to your concerns! Please let me/us 
know your opinion about what we're doing. :-)

Bye,
-Riccardo
