The answer to that question is simple: yes, absolutely.
All societies are asking themselves the same question. I think the transformation that is going to take place in the next few years in terms of methods of dissemination may be going to create new opportunities for reviving activities in various languages, like French.
If I engage in a bit of futurology, I have to say that I am not sure that existing publication methods are the ones that will be recommended in the future. There may be an opportunity there to be more dynamic, and it may be francophones who should be dictating the future course to take when it comes to dissemination of knowledge.
