Subject:   ANNOUNCE : <XML>fr

Hi,

I am happy to announce the first release of <XML>fr (http://xmlfr.org), the first XML portal for worldwide French readers.

- <XML>fr in 5 points :

 
  * Address : http://xmlfr.org
  * First XML portal in French.
  * Content built by a team of XML expert volunteers.
  * Content published under the Open Content License available for use
    by other sites and information channels while protecting the rights
    of its authors.
  * Uses the Open Directory Project (http://dmoz.org).
- Why XML ?
 I won't take the risk of offending you by explaining why XML is
 important !
- Why fr ?
 AltaVista knows about 471 340 English pages with the word XML and only
 7 650 French pages.
 It's to compensate a part of this gap that we are launching <XML>fr.
- What do we find on the site ?
  * Technical and business news available both online and through
    mailing lists.
    links : http://xmlfr.org/actualites/decid/ 
            http://xmlfr.org/actualites/tech/
  * Discussion lists/
