Just send it to me in xls format and I'll add it to the spreadsheet of translations.

We're working on a way for you to input it directly, but not there yet.

Could you tie it up through Google docs?... not volunteering anything, just wondering...

Or, if its a "one of" table layout for a post, would/could a <blockquote></blockquote> work?

Talking

HU's "official policy" is to rely on external stuff as little as possible - over the 10 years we've been running the site, the number of changes and losses of good sites is staggering - and fixing links is a major headache, much less relying on external apps that WILL change.

However, where needed, such as for the coming mapping systems, we will - because we just don't have the resources - but for simple stuff like forms, we can easily do it ourselves. It just takes time, and everything has it's own priority. There's just me full time, Susan very part time, two assistants - (a few hours a week each) and one programmer - part-time! - plus a very few very valuable and appreciated - but overworked already - volunteers to help. We could easily use two or three more full time people, but we can't begin to pay them.

Anyone with PHP and Drupal knowledge willing to volunteer for a single project is much appreciated!

As for using blockquote - nope, you haven't seen the table - it's a beaut!

Go to http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/country for the link to the spreadsheet. I'll get it into a page asap.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
