I think that the English speaking world is in dire need of an English translation of a Fataawa work that is based solely on Shafi Fiqh. One from the classical era of Islam and a contemporary one (from 1920 onwards).

Just like the Hanafis have all Mufti Taqis works in English and Fataawa Rahimiyya and many others our Shafi brethren need the same.

Imam Nawawi's majmu` would be great. The problem though is with people trying to walk before knowing how to crawl. Also, the only translation of Minhaj at-Talibeen I've found is Arabic to French then to English; perhaps a straight translation would be good as well.

I would personally like to see brothers step up and create a Shafi`i fiqh youtube channel similar to the way the Hanafi brothers have.
