I thought about this again and I want to ask you to not mention IMC
Germany and IMC Venezuela. Although in the the last mails a "not
officially" was added, I think it wouldn't be right to mention those
collectives without a debate having taken place. Sorry, my bad. I
deleted them from the list in the wiki, too. We might add an
"Individuals from..." section if that makes sense.


About the rest: I don't have the time to really participate in the
discussion. Some short impressions though:

* I like the idea to have a focus on translation and multi-language
features.

* Another focus that has been mentioned by toya and others are security
and privacy issues. I'd love to see that included much more. It seems to
me Drupal right now doesn't pay much attention to those topics. Although
there are some first intents like those mentioned in the wiki [1], the
Secure Pages module [2] or the pretty new GnuPG API [3].

* I think it is important to take the points into account that have been
made on imc-tech, i.e. communication with imc-cms, scaling, security
issues etc

Best
yan
