Everything but the Testimonials would not need to be translated.

Actually I disagree with that. The Homepage is about Fink. Fink is a
popular project and I think our community deserves more than just
documentation. However I do concurr that it might be better to have
this on the Fink Developer Network homepage. Which I still think
should be a dedicated web-site and not a part of the main site.

That would create a mess though, as I do not know how we would keep
that all consistent. How do we seperate that out in the CVS? If you
prefer that solution, then we should put it on a dedicated web-site
which runs its own CMS

I will have to go and re-read the policies.
