Welcome to the Ráday Salon collaborative workspace

This space is an adjunct to the Ráday Salon blog, to facilitate collaborative work on documents.  When circumstances warrant and time permits, I have endeavored to translate certain articles from Hungarian media outlets into English, to build non-Hungarian speakers' knowledge of current events in Hungary having to do with human rights issues. I rely on the help of Hungarian friends to check my translations -- if you would be willing to assist, please let me know. -- LC
