[IAEP] "Make Your Own Sugar Activities!" in Spanish

[James Simmons]

Werner,

Thanks for your interest.  I'll notify the lists when the project is
set up.  In the meantime any interested persons can sign up for an
account on FLOSS Manuals.  Anyone with an account can edit any book.
You can also sign up to get emails when a book is updated.

I don't use a lot of technical language in the manual, so it shouldn't
be too hard to translate.  One or two technical Spanish speakers to
review the translation should be plenty.

James Simmons
