Hafa adai Yves, No way man, i would not have the audacity to attempt a history of cukes without you! It wouldnt be anywhere near as good. As for translating texts; pls see below my attempted translations in several languages: http://www.guammarinelab.com/technicalreports.html Especially see report 146; i do worry most about my interpretation of German! With that report, plus report 151 and our introductory chapters to our theses, i think weve a pretty good start on a paper; it would be lovely to include all the great ones, as well. If youre keen to take lead, i toadally respect that; otherwise i would do my best.
