Ulf,
This is why the phpwebsite-comm project was started. It provides a place
for community members to work on their ideas. It also provides a place
for the ASU team to review content for inclusion in phpwebsite releases.

Most of the current functionality in phpwebsite is l10n. The underlying
support for i18n isn't implemented yet. i18n requires underlying
structure support from database, web server, php code, xhtml, and css to
function properly.

I'm going to setup a wiki (mediawiki) for phpwebsite-comm. I hope
everyone can contribute to the knowledge base.
