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

Why do you hate freedom, Melanchthon?

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.

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.)

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

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.

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