hhhmmm, addiction :)

Sorry if I wasn't very present recently but I have a huge amound of work to be
done for... yesterday... every day ! But this should hopefully ends in
mid-december.

Concerning the wiki, I wonder if we shouldn't set one language by page (except
the FrontPage). We set 2 columns on the FrontPage, english and french ; then we
link some specific pages for each language, for example "About" and "APropos".
What do you think about that ?

For the list of people to invite, I think we get close to something interesting.
I'm really impressed by all the people found by Tracey ! :p

There's still a little configuration problem with the wiki for people that have
a french-configured browser. I'll try to correct this before the end of the WE.
