(en) AFAIR, in principle, this is certainly possible and recommended.

(fr) D'après ce que je me souviens, c'est certainement possible, même
conseillé.

(en) i don't think the intention is for *only* new-imc volunteers to do this.
i think joe's meaning is:

"we think that it would be good that there are some new-imc volunteers
who upgrade the cities list"

"some" not "all"


(fr) À mon avis la proposition n'est pas pour une exclusivité d'accès aux
bénévoles de new-imc, seulement que quelques-un-e-s des gens de new-imc
aient un tel accès.

Of course.

Bien sûr.

(en) i'm sure that this is not the proposal, and i don't think it would
be realistic - we had enough difficulty getting list admins for new-imc,
so getting volunteers as contact db superusers would be even more difficult
IMHO, unless someone says that s/he wants to, like joe.

(fr) je ne pense pas que ce soit la proposition, et à mon avis ce ne serait
pas réaliste - nous avions assez de difficulté à trouver des admins de la
liste new-imc, alors trouver les volontaires comme superutilisateurs sur 
la bd de contacts serait encore plus difficile AMHA, à moins que quelqu'un-e
dit qu'il-ou-elle le voudrait, comme joe.

(en) i've never heard of this idea. We have 76 non-bouncing
subscribers on new-imc right now, and some of us are not (yet) that 
well known to the others.

(fr) j'ai jamais entendu de cette idée. Actuellement nous avons 76 
abonné-e-s non-rebondissant-e-s sur new-imc, et quelques-un-e-s sont 
pas (encore) trop bien connu-e-s.

(en) i think the easiest thing is a standard internal new-imc proposal
with a 3-day deadline. We know joe fairly well, so i don't see that it
should be controversial.

(fr) À mon avis le plus simple serait une proposition new-imc interne avec
une échéance de 3 jours. Nous bien connaissons joe, je ne m'attends donc pas 
à ce que ce soit une proposition controversée.
