how can someone unlike mailman? :)

So, we decided to leave the choice up to the translators, since we

you're a gentle man..

First, moderation interfaces:

This is *my* opinion. Have a web-based interface is good in those time
you're in a very closed enviroment(behind a squid for example) and you can't
access your mails(even gmail is denied, believe or not it happens :), in
this case you still have the web-based interface to work, to see what is
going on in short words "to moderate".

have no opinion here. But this kind of moderation wouldn't be good for me.

Second, archivers:

Archive isn't a problem for me. Google is your friend, believe me.

I would really preffer. Put all together would be good, it must be a
translation effort not a svnbook  or .po translation effort. If you're
interested on .po or svnbook doesn't matter.
