hey

Good conversation :) Really nice you are offering to help with this
stuff Daniel. Thanks HEAPS.

We have had the idea from the beginning that we will not start new
language portals unless there is someone to manage them.

This is how fi (tomi) and fr (elisa) work. And en (me + john) of course.
If I set up a portal for every lang I would exhaust our server capacity
and me in one easy hit :)

So the languages without a manager go to the translation zone. From June
15 we will have many things in place for this.

As for the non-managed languages. I think the translations should be
linked from the en.flossmanuals.net page. But before this happens i need
to work some more on the admin system. If you know any php people that
can help with this I would be eternally grateful. If we could get 1 day
or 2 with a good php programmer we could move ahead fast on the stuff
you and Ed need.

As for bugs...thanks for the heads up about the link. Will fix it.

adam
