Although I've mentioned them as successive steps, we can discuss simultaneously all the issues (wording, translation, hosting, dissemination strategy...).

Count me in, definitely.

You're clearly a dangerous pinko commie pragmatist.

Why do you hate freedom, Melanchthon?

Melanchton, I found this while looking for relevant examples. I mention it for the bit at the bottom about EU privacy laws and the filing with CNIL.

(CNIL: France's Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés, the authority for the protection of personal data.)

You're clearly a dangerous pinko commie pragmatist.

Thanks, Vagulus. I think privacy policy is important, too.

Re: A petition against a Tony Blair presidency of (none / 1)

The sponsors list in the Eurolinux petition above reminded me of another important aspect: cost. Registering a domain name within the .eu (of course!) top level domain is cheap. Hosting a lot of web traffic possibly not - we may need to pass the kitty around to get started, and perhaps include a link for people wishing to make a small donation through PayPal toward the cost of running the website.

Lest it gets buried under a ton of messages: see linca's below about the computer/coding side of the project.

I can pre-fund a site (4.00 / 4)

before any collective funding mechanism can be set up (or instead of). Might as well take advantage of my disgusting bourgeois banker condition for something useful.

Jeez, Vagulus- good idea, good model. While I was there, I tried to sign.
What's a "Zope Error"?

Useful talking follows experience, the more experience the better. Talking that precedes experience is known as bullshit.

Re: A petition against a Tony Blair presidency of (none / 0)

Zope is the content management system behind the page. It blew a gasket.
