Hi Chris, first of all, I did not want to start a new discussion, so please forgive me for that. Unfortunately, I did read most of the mails in the archive relating to l10n and i18n of this list after I sent my email. See more comments inline.

Of course, I was just replying to the first thing that talked about a switch away from Plone, so I argued in that direction. I realize you have done a lot of work with Plone, and I just want to get the job done, I don't want to enter a endless discussion about a switch. >> >> > Simply stated, and no offense to anyone but the idea that Wordpress is >> > even >> > an option for gnome.org going forward is ridiculous. >> >> Chris, I completely agree that Wordpress is not the way forward. >> However, I do understand people that want to get a new site ready in >> no time and wordpress gives you that. >> A little off-topic.

Sorry, I don't understand the phrasing (my mother's tongue being spanish). Do you mean it's not a priority before the new www.gnome.org is up? Or even if the new wgo is up? If the first, I totally agree with you. And I'll try to install the plone site in my machine this week so I can document how to deploy it, But if you are willing to put some bounties for getting Plone done, I would focus on addons.mozilla.org. > You're free to do whatever you want but I don't think anyone should be > entertaining discussion there right now. Well, I wanted to work on addons.gnome.org because I didn't know about this get Plone online thing. I still think it would be a very worthy addition to some of the applications in gnome desktop that have a lot of plugins, like gedit, but I understand your desire of not hearing about it while wgo is not up, so I will keep my work on this (if any) under the hood until there is something worthy to discuss/announce.
