[IAEP] [FM Discuss] volunteer to translate to spanish

[anacim]

Hi Caryl, I remember you requesting help for translators, but I was busy
then. I must say that the human done parts are pretty nicely written :)

Adding work to "Make Your Own Sugar Activities", that will keep me occupied
for a while, besides I ve been asked to look at
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/TurtleArt/Uso_de_TortugaArte_Sensores
but it is pretty fine

Afterwards I intend to follow with the manuals:

 Terminal guide
 Linux command line

I will let you know so you can help me with your experience and team. Now I
just have to start reading and working on it.
Kind regards and thanks for answering,
