I'm not. Well, a little bit .. :-)

So far the translation list is mainly for package translations, i agree with 
Carlos. But yes, some go there first, because of the name, and ask for the 
wiki. Thats not that often so not really a problem. For the wiki, o-wiki 
seems to be a quite obvious place to do so. With the new pages, and the 
possibility to translate them we have to make it more clear, right.

options:

- all wiki stuff stays on the o-wiki list, all other stuff on o-translations
- make a new list, like o-web-translation* (for wiki, download, frontpage, 
whatever page will come)
- continue to have no plan :-)

I would like to have a list where all "web" translators are on. IMHO it makes 
sense to separate "web" and the traditional translations list because it's 
quite different. Correct me if i'm wrong ...

* first name which came to mind ...
