Hi!

I submitted a dot story about this yesterday evening (which has not been 
posted yet).

It would make a lot of sense attach this translation of the Heise article, but 
I guess we would need to ask them for permission first.

Or should I simply add a few translated quotes (fair use) into the article? 
Unfortunately I do not have the text anymore - I typed it directly into the 
web form.

Dot editors, would it be possible to _not_ publish the dor story and forward 
the submission to me instead, so I can merge it with Claire's work?

Olaf
