[open-science] Translations of open science roadmap documents in Poland

[Paola Di Maio]

just to qualify that 'linguistic anglocentrism' statement

there are reasons why the English language is the lingua franca of
scientific communication (which one can argue /disagree with), but that is
not intended to diminish or the value beauty and semantic importance of the
other languages, from which English itself is coming from. it's shorter,
faster, easier, probably beacause it is a relatively 'modern' language

look forward to learn more what you people are working on, and let's not
forget
that google translations are not that bad for basic sense making of content
in other languages
 :-)
