A call to the wider network of people that read this and people that they know.
I've just started looking after MTV's global AIDS awareness site - staying-alive.org.
This is a problem in the world of the internet because, as we all know, normally if it all gets too much it doesn't really matter because - hey - we're not trying to save lives here.
Except I kind of am.
(Perhaps this is utterly pompous, but my ambition is to make that potentially-marketing-speak true)
Anyway, one of the things I have to do is get the site working in Mandarin.
So, if you know anyone who's taken a left-to-right site and got it working in right-to-left, can you get them to drop me a line? I want to know about tech, editorial and design issues.
It's a good cause - and I say that having asked cynical questions internally - so consultancies need not apply. However, I may be able to offer drinks in very favourable surroundings on Shaftesbury Avenue for the right individuals with the right war-stories.

Hey you...
I would perhaps talk to some of the folk in World Service Internet, or perhaps even Kevin Hinde at News Interactive, or Matt Wood who I think did a load of the first wave of unicode/mulitlingual stuff at BBC News, also Tom Broxton.

yup, speak to Weiming Fan or Dharmesh Patel (designers at world service). Both very approachable and often have to find solutions to the same problems.
