Hi Nicolas,

to my non-native speaker ears, this sounds good :)
Thank you!

Btw., Elisa seemed to talk about two books/manuals/intros you two
recently wrote, but on the mailing list, we only ever got a link to
one of them.
Can you give me a link to the second one? I'd like to add it as an
item for French-English translators to the To-Do-List web page, hoping
to help you find someone for it, so chances of re-translation to other
languages will be higher.
(We could also ask Josh to post something on our social media, to get
this to a larger audience)

Thanks again,
 Kind regards,
 Maren
