[Imc-africa] intro

[andresfuerte]

This looks good, Anna. Welcome to the project!

Although I've been able to contribute as yet little to this project, I 
am planning to start soon to suggest to comrades & the local network 
here in the Canary Islands that, when the time comes, we could work to 
produce some textual translations into Spanish (from English & French) 
of reports from the WSF and, indeed, relay information / create programs 
on local FM/internet radio here in the islands.

So any suggestions about maybe coordinating translation work (always 
difficult, I know) would be welcome.

Some translations into many other much more local African languages 
could, of course, I guess, be extremely valuable...
