Yesterday I was in IGC 2005, in the block session about Website internationalisation techniques and multilingual software in order to talk about Mozilla project in Catalan.

I do not really know whether this is serious, or it is, let's say... 'just for fun'.

Thanks to searchplugins, we can easily query the biobliographic database PubMed, annotated proteins in SwissProt or NEWT taxonomy.
