Perspectiva Mundial is the monthly Spanish-language socialist magazine that carries a selection of key articles translated from the Militant.

The cover of this month's print edition features the July 21 union representation victory by packinghouse workers at Dakota Premium Foods in Minnesota. The headline reads, "Meat packers win a union--now preparing to fight for contract."

The issue also contains a report of victorious strikes by the United Mine Workers in Wyoming and New Mexico, and two features--an extensive report on the recent Active Workers Conference in Ohio, and chapter 2 of The History of American Trotskyism, by James P. Cannon.  
 
Preparing articles for the web
In the first stage of preparing a Perspectiva Mundial issue for publication on the web, staff writers will convert the articles into a simple digital text file. Next, a volunteer will copy the articles from these files onto special web-page templates.

The articles will then be transferred from the computer's hard drive onto the web via a server--a remote computer--that hosts the files. Once there, they can be accessed around the world through the Internet.

Fluency in Spanish is needed. Volunteers must be able to use a word-processing program, and some familiarity with e-mail and other basic online functions will be a help.

Most important is the commitment to getting Perspectiva Mundial on the web on time every month. Potential volunteers can contact Perspectiva Mundial at Themilitant@compuserve.com
