We have added the Wikimedia Foundation icon to the funding section. Having done this, isn't there an argument for including an icon for Netcup and for Stichting Open Progress (if permitted), or otherwise just dropping the Wikimedia Foundation icon in favour of a general funding picture - Atlas carrying the world, or a pile of coins, or something like that.
Have added draft section on 'history' to the draft. Where there are ????? marks I wasn't able to find the facts. Can someone fill these in? I'm not sure whether I have pitched this history at the right level. If more technical detail is needed this can perhaps be added by someone else?
I have done some review with fixes, updates and additions. I think we should take it into production as it is now.
That's fine - there is one question mark left on the wiki groups section - about the delay between registering and automatic confirmation.
Fixed that. Although, IIRC, Translators are autoconfirmed, so it can be sped up.
Thanks. Have added a section on fallback language to FAQs, pending documentation on the proper help pages, and added links to FAQ and other documentation pages, for fallback, PLURAL and GENDER.
I have drafted a section on the wiki groups on the Project:About/Draft page. It needs checking for mistakes/omissions. I didn't know the length of time between registering and and becoming autoconfirmed and have left this as a question in the draft.
When drafting the contact us section I noticed that on Translating:New project it mentions contact us "...by e-mail, Instant Messaging...". Is it possible to contact the project (not individual users) this way and, if so, how?
Also, does translatewiki.net have a physical address yet? Has translatewiki.net been registered in any country as an organisation yet? If and when that happens, the contact details can be added.
I have drafted an outline for extending the About page. The aim is to make this page useful to the general visitor to translatewiki.net, with sufficient links to enable further exploring. It might be useful to add a navigation box to this page, with links to the Statistics page, the Version page, the project list, the language list, and others.
So far, I have put in section headings and written the sections that, with my limited knowledge, I feel best able to do, plus a few other suggestions. The other sections would make more sense if written by others closer to the management team than me :-). I have also assumed that the first two paragraphs are still true.
