I don't see this as a translation gateway, however.  There are a lot
of people who's command of english prohibits them from participating
in the general discussion, and it would be certainly nice if there was
*someplace* for them to go where they could post a question in Italian
and get a reply in the same language from someone on the regional
list.  We need to make FreeBSD *more* friendly, and to me that means
the ability to support users more effectively through regional user
groups (that actually meet face to face) and mailing lists where
problems can be discussed in any language from croat to french.

300MB?
