Here is want I'll try to do :

- I asked Patrick to do something like the logo he did but with a stylized map of canada and "CivicAccess" (and AccèsCivique for french). I'll add a splash page with this and the content of this page : http://www.civicaccess.ca/wiki/FrontPageMockup (+ translation). This shouldn't be too hard.

- I asked Robin if we could modify the template easily to add a small navigation menu (like what they add on their FACIL website. A navigation menu would help to sort the content and could solve a part of the content organization problem we have.

- The language issue really p*** me off. I'm french (not french canadien/quebecer) so my opinion may not be representative : to me many french canadians might be able to understand that we don't have a lot of resources to translate all the content and when we want to bring people from all over the country, english is the language. We try to put some content in french as we can. Then we should put to much emphasis on french. For example, the title of the page (which is also the URL) must remain in english only (and simple).

- Language auto-detection : The wiki software has this ability. When a french-configured browser arrives on the website, the wiki provides the webpage "Page D'Accueil (http://www.civicaccess.ca/wiki/PageD%27Accueil) which is for the moment forwarded to the common frontpage. We could remove that forward and copy the french version to the "Page d'accueil" page. In fact it's already done but I leave the french version in the FrontPage for the moment.

Anything else ?
