In Memoriam/hdmtrad

Hdmtrad (Hélène de Mink) died on 14 February of this year after a long illness.

Hélène joined Distributed Proofreaders on 3 December 2007. During her time with us, she proofread and formatted more than 11,000 pages, post-processed 230 projects, project managed 52 projects, and PPVed 81 projects. Most of the projects she worked on were in French.

Hélène had many important roles in her time at Distributed Proofreaders : P3 Proofreader, Post-Processor, Project Manager, Post-Processing Verifier, Project Facilitator, Squirrel, BEGIN Coordinator, P2 Mentor Coordinator, Managing P3 Qualifier projects, PM Mentor, French Coordinator, and PPV Coordinator. Hélène did the original translation of the Distributed Proofreaders site into French and was responsible for many of the French documents in our wiki.

Hélène's illness took her away from Distributed Proofreaders long before her death. She and her dedication to DP and to French literature have been deeply missed by our volunteers here at Distributed Proofreaders.
