| 1)
| Probably a question for Alistair so if no one else can help I'll repost
| next week.
| 
| I have a (potential) client who will be setting up bilingual
| English/Spanish teaching resources and whose staff are mostly bilingual.
| They probably lack technical expertise in things like XML files etc. but
| will be more than capable of translating educational terminology etc.
| So, is there a idiot's guide to using Alistair's localisation features
| for Bodington?

You may be disappointed at the number of internationalised templates!

| 
| 2)
| Another requirement of this client is to be able to quickly and easily
| set up new buildings each with its own administrative zone. At present
| creating administrative zones is something that involves bringing
| Bodington down and running a script of some sort on the database. So, to
| make life easier for my client (and anyone else who wants to host a
| shared Bodington installation for multiple clients) I'm thinking of
| adding zone management functionality. Adding a zone would create the
| zone itself and a set of groups in the same way as the Bodington
| installation code but doing it at runtime.

See no reason why not from our point of view, although we don't really use
zones. 

You know we have some code for administrators which I don't think is in head
yet - Matthew has the details - but there's nowt to do with zones. 

The one thing we didn't get done is a simple form-based 'create one user'
page; so that would be warmly received!

| So, can I check that people are O.K. with this plan? The idea would be
| to add a create zone link to the manage page of floors, suites, plain
| rooms which is visible only with sysadmin access. The create zone
| template would simply ask for a zone prefix and zone name and would then
| create the zone and create group structures at the location where the
| user invoked the functionality.
| 
| Does this seems alright? Is anyone already working on something similar?
