To me this sounds like an great idea.  I personally love that he sends 
an inquiry letter first.

It kind of brings to the forefront, also, something I was just thinking 
about on my walk this evening, which is how we used to kick around the 
idea of accepting articles in non-English languages (circa 2001).
very long thread here:
http://lists.evolt.org/theforumarchive/Week-of-Mon-20011112/date.html

I'm struck by how much evolt's non-English-as-a-native-language userbase 
has grown since those days... but of course the issue is evaluating an 
article in a language that no admin speaks.  It seems like our spammer 
base has grown, too.  (We do have a Dutch-speaker here though, don't 
we... should we tell him to write in Dutch???)

Another option is to edit non-English speakers' articles a bit more 
thoroughly.  (Maybe we already do this.) I'd be willing to help with that.

One of my many hidden agendas is I would like to bring myself forward 
more in the workforce as a content-producer/editor type (it's part of my 
web dev identity crisis)... and though I've done a lot of that over the 
years, it's never been my primary role.  So it would be nice to have 
another thing to put on my resume.

I think we should welcome this article, in some way. And promptly.

shall I write him OR....?
