One idea struck me just now when I saw transcom (eeh, it is not precise, but transsubcom is too long, not?) page on meta.
If we really would like to involve the community, not regarding languages, into Foundation activities, may it make a sense for us not to have multilingual website as the official one, but also multilingual descriptions aiming to the internal information on meta in most cases, for example, each committee's description?
Some language have their own page about Election Officials. It is a new mode of this year. It may make a sense to have descriptions of other Officials in those languages too?
<negative thought> Since only English speaking people can be involved into the deepest level at the end, such multilingualized pages may work simply as red herrings even at best ... </negative thought>
Thoughts?

:-) Sounds good. I might be doing some things to make wiki-translation easier in the near future too btw.
Gerard Meijssen and Sabine Cretella want me to do some work on OmegaT so that it can interface directly with mediawiki. *WANT*. I need to make time somehow...
read you soon, Kim Bruning
