This sounds interesting.  I know that for my vision of GNOME Journal I
wanted to have translated articles so that we aren't just stuck with a
single language.  We are currently using TextPattern which does the job,
but not what I've envisioned.  However, I have not been able to find an
alternative short of a xslt/xmlpo/makefile system that makes it hard for
other people to learn.

An intriguing offer that I hope Quim and others takes you up on.  I know
for about two years or so you've been doing some GNOME integration with
Midgard.  What kind of stuff have you been doing?  I find that part very
interesting, especially if we can manage our web pages using desktop
technology.
