During this period there won't be any news and translations, the commentary function and the ANF (possibility to post news online) will be disabled. The forum will be kept enabled. We will announce a talk master who will be responsible for its content.

We discussed this issue thoroughly and controversial if, and if so in which kind, we could/should realize such a summer break. A short break will not result in any recovery and a longer break comprises the risk to lose readers. A stopgap for urgend news seemed to be possible but difficult, who wants to be responsible to decide wether a news item is urgent or not? Further more this wouldn't be a real recovery, say nothing half, nothing whole. We trust in the hope that our readers will not have forgotten us after such a long break :).

However we will go back to work after the summer break with a whole new motivation. We ask for your understanding and therefore announce this break that early.
