[Foundation-l] Bunners at the bottom of every page

[Dan Rosenthal]

Agreed, and putnik's translation is accurate.  For the record, the're  
also considering replacing the wikibooks logo with a derivative using  
cyrillics, but they can't agree on the proper version.

I don't think the interface was intended to be messed with in this way  
by the individual projects. Something needs to be done.
