Happy to oblige Bruce

Have you noted that it is only composed of tanslations of articles 
published world wide - of course they must be a bias in the selcetion 
process, who would question that.

This one too - yet to be launched apparently - should be worth a look 
when alive.

Multilingual, it might prove quite successful if it takes off.

BTW congrats on your French; Excellent ++ :-)
Bien cordialement
Philippe
